2. LVDeD 4.29±0.60cm, LVSeD 2.85±0.66cm, LVDeV 82.06±24.66ml and LVSeV 26.91±9.21ml in the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy were significantly changed with those in the normal.
3. E.F. 68.63±10.46% and F.S. 34.32±6.43% in the Hypertrophic Cardiomopathy were significantly increased with those in the normal.
