Cardiac MR imaging provides accurate morphological assessment and risk stratification (via LGE for fibrosis) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Amano et al. (2018) conducted a review in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiac MR Imaging was evaluated. Cardiac MR imaging is a valuable method for diagnosing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, identifying phenotypes, and risk stratification through accurate measurement of wall thickness and detection of myocardial fibrosis.
