Figure 6 Septal and lateral base function by Doppler strain–time curves, after alcohol injection. Systolic compression is present in the lateral wall, but the base of the septum is dysfunctional. The arrow points to post-systolic compression, which is not uncommon in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and seems related to abnormal loading conditions and possibly ischemia.
