TL;DR
Given its high sensitivity in evaluating left ventricular systolic function in patients with HCM, EF1 represents a promising adjunctive parameter for the multimodal assessment of systolic function in this population.
Abstract
The assessment of stable coronary artery disease has been performed using the first‐phase ejection fraction (EF1) in previous research. However, the use of EF1 has seldom been employed in the evaluation of early left ventricular systolic dysfunction among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
To identify subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in hypertensive subjects with pre-served ejection fraction (>55%), global parameters of myocardial strain on speckle tracking imaging are identified by global parameters of myocardial strain on speckle tracking imaging.

BACKGROUND
In approximately 5-10% of cases, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) presents left ventricular remodeling with hypokinesia and dilatation, defined "end-stage" phase (ES) of the disease, typically associated with development of advanced heart failure (HF). Prescription of conventional medical treatments for HF...

In patients of CCS without reduced EF, MPI-derived PFR demonstrates sex-specific prognostic value, serving as an independent predictor of MACE in women but not men, highlighting the potential of diastolic analysis to refine risk stratification in women.

A lower LVEF, a lower T2-SI ratio, and a larger LA diameter remained associated with higher NT-proBNP levels after adjustment for the available clinical and imaging covariates, but these cross-sectional findings do not establish causality or prognostic value.
