BACKGROUND: A global function index (GFI) derived from tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has been proposed to improve the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of this index in a large selected HCM population.
METHODS: GFI =[E/Ea]/Sa, was calculated at mitral annulus lateral and septal borders in 164 HCM patients and in 40 healthy volunteers. Group comparisons and correlations between GFI and other variables were performed.
RESULTS: Of the 164 patients, 69 (42%) had a peak gradient >30 mmHg in the left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT). GFI (lateral or septal) was not normally distributed. There were differences among controls, obstructive HCM, and nonobstructive HCM (P < 0.0001), but significant overlap of GFI values were observed between groups. GFI was correlated to septal thickness (r = 0.44; P < 0.0001), left atrial diameter (r = 0.52; P < 0.0001), and LVOT gradient (r = 0.58; P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: In a selected HCM population, GFI was limited by its asymmetrical distribution and significant overlap of values between groups. Further studies are necessary to verify the reliability of GFI in the clinical practice and its position among other tissue Doppler indices.
