Understanding of ventricular noncompaction appearance with simultaneous hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains to be improved, as conventional used markers may not be able to distinguish subtle variation between isolated ventricular noncompaction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We utilize the myocardial strain analysis based on cine images to compare different subgroups in order to find clues of underlying pathophysiology. Remarkable difference of the strain value were found in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients compared with the isolated ventricular noncompaction ones.
