We conducted this study to investigate left ventricle (LV) systolic function in endocardial, mid-myocardial, and epicardial layers by two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with myocardial injury indexed by elevated serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Twenty-nine HCM patients with myocardial injury, thirty-five HCM patients without myocardial injury, and ninty-one healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Serum cTnI > 0.026 ng/mL was defined as myocardial injury. LV longitudinal and circumferential strain (LS and CS) were assessed in endocardial, mid-myocardial and epicardial layers. Layer-specific LS and CS differed significantly (allP< 0.001) among all three groups in all three layers, in a descending order from healthy controls to HCM patients without myocardial injury to HCM patients with myocardial injury. Layer-specific LS and CS were decreased the most in HCM patients with myocardial injury indexed by elevated seum cTnI (allP< 0.05). In HCM patients with myocardial injury, layer-specific LS and CS were significantly lower in the segments with greater hypertrophy (segmental thickness ≥ 15 mm) (allP< 0.001) except for endocardial CS (P> 0.05). Layer-specific evaluation of LV strain may improve understanding of impaired LV systolic function in HCM patients with myocardial injury, thus preventing further damage.
