Figure 3

Receiver-operator characteristic analysis. The optimum cut-off value for left ventricular global longitudinal strain to differentiate the presence of hypertension with ApHCM was −16.8%; the sensitivity and specificity were 64% and 93%, respectively. The area under curve was 0.74 ± 0.10 (95% CI: 0.55–0.93, p < 0.029).
