Abstract
Abnormalities of ventricular and atrial function that result in suboptimal left ventricular (LV) filling in diastole are thought to be important causes of symptoms and functional limitation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Indeed, many of the pathophysiologic mechanisms believed to account for diastolic heart failure are floridly expressed in HCM, and HCM may prove a useful supermodel for the study of diastolic heart disease and its treatment. © 2008 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
