Prognostic Significance of Radionuclide-Assessed Diastolic Function in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Taishiro Chikamori, MD, Shaughan Dickie, DCR, Jan D. Poloniecki, DPhil, Melvyn J. Myers, PhD, J. Peter Lavender, MD, and William J. McKenna, MD
To evaluate the prognostic significance of diastolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), te&netium-SSm gated equfiibrium radkuutcfide angiography, acquired in list mode, was performed in 161 patients.
