Gender-related differences in left atrial strain mechanics and exercise capacity in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a propensity-score matched study from the Cleveland Clinic
Gender-related differences in LA reservoir strain were increasingly evident for older HCM patients aged 60 years and older. LA reservoir strain was an independent determinant of percent-predicted peak VO<sub>2</sub> in male and female patients, underpinning the importance of LA function in determining exercise capacity in HCM.
