The Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Entropy From T1 Mapping in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Abstract

A total of 40 patients with HCM experienced SCD, and 65 experienced CVD during a median follow-up of 43 months. Participants with increased LV entropy (≥4.06) were more likely to experience SCD and CVD (all P < 0.05) in the entire study cohort or the subgroup with low late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) extent (<15%). After adjustment for the European Society of Cardiology predictors and the presence of high LGE extent (≥15%), LV mean entropy was an independent predictor for SCD (HR: 1.03; all P < 0.05) by the multivariable competing risk analysis and CVD (HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03-1.09; P < 0.001) by multivariable Cox regression analysis.
