Does exercise speckle-tracking strain imaging demonstrate impaired right ventricular contractile reserve in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
RV contractile reserve for HCM is impaired and this suggests that the lower resting values of RV in HCM may represent early subclinical myocardial damage, closely associated with exercise capacity.
Older adults living at home should be screened for falls in history and problems in gait and mobility in any anamnesis to identify those who are at risk for falls.
