Key result
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance, including late gadolinium enhancement and novel techniques like T1 mapping, is a powerful tool to assess and diagnose the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Why the study?
CMR is a powerful tool to assess and diagnose the cause of LVH, warranting an overview of typical findings and novel techniques.
How can cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) be used to assess and diagnose the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy?
How can cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) be used to assess and diagnose the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy?
This review highlights the utility of CMR and its advanced techniques (LGE, T1 mapping, ECV, DTI) in the diagnostic workup of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful tool to assess and diagnose the cause of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This review provides an overview of the typical CMR findings in the various causes of LVH, focusing mainly on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. It will also cover the more novel techniques of T1 mapping, extracellular volume (ECV) fraction estimation and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and their role in the imaging assessment of LVH.

Lewis et al. (2020) conducted a review in Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance, including late gadolinium enhancement and novel techniques like T1 mapping, is a powerful tool to assess and diagnose the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy.
