Comments on: Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and New Ultrasonic Derived Parameters http://www.thepreparedminds.com/archives/1886 In the field of observation, chance favors the prepared minds.

This is a potentially important study with implications for care of patients with HCM and risk stratification for sudden cardiac death. The reproducibility of strain has been suspect in other instances, however. The use of strain has been promising for dysynchrony assessment, but has yet to deliver.
