Highlights • There are major differences in LV mechanics between LVNC patients and normal individuals occurring independent of LVEF. • STE-derived parameters such as APCS, APSR, and twist were significantly impaired and strongly associated with CV events independent of and incremental to LVEF and NC:C ratio. • LV twist was associated with CV events independent of and incremental to GLS.
