Implication

Does not support practice changes in HCM; hypothesis-generating for disarray as a functional biomarker.

Structured PICO

Does MRI imaging of myofiber disarray correlate with myocardial function abnormalities in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Population

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)

Intervention

MRI imaging

Outcome

Myocardial function (passive and active), fiber shortening, and wall thickeningsurrogate

MRI demonstrates that myofiber disarray in HCM correlates with abnormal passive and active myocardial function.
