• In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left atrial (LA) reservoir and booster-pump function, but not conduit function, were significantly impaired in mutation-positive patients compared with mutation-negative patients. • LA booster-pump strain measured by MRI-derived feature tracking is feasible to predict sarcomere mutation with high incremental value added to Mayo II score.
