This study aimed to determine the predictive value of non-invasive markers in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with preserved ejection fraction. The results demonstrated that an elevated level of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) was an independent predictor for the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and combined with maximum wall thickness (MWT), had good diagnostic performance for the detection of LGE. Furthermore, decreased left ventricular global circumferential strain (GCS) was independently correlated with the LGE%, indicating its potential prognostic value for detecting myocardial fibrosis.
