CMR identifies distinct LGE patterns of ischemic and replacement fibrosis in HCM with CAD.
Case Report (n=1)
No
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, identifying distinct LGE patterns on CMR is crucial to differentiate between HCM-related replacement fibrosis and concomitant ischemic territorial fibrosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Distinct LGE patterns on CMR may aid fibrosis differentiation in HCM with CAD; leaves open clinical utility pending larger validation.
Singhal et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstructive coronary artery disease (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease identified distinct late gadolinium enhancement patterns of both ischemic and replacement fibrosis.
