Key result
Magnetic resonance imaging identified interventricular septum involvement in 64 patients, unusual apical/papillary forms in 11 patients, and myocardial crypts in 12 patients with suspected HCM.
Why the study?
Detailed visualization of morphological obstruction substrates and tissue characteristics is needed because phenotypic LV remodeling variants in HCM often involve mitral valve and myocardial abnormalities that contribute to obstruction.
Does magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improve the diagnosis and classification of phenotypical forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in patients with suspected HCM?
Observational (n=75)
Does magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improve the diagnosis and classification of phenotypical forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in patients with suspected HCM?
Cardiac MRI provides detailed anatomical and tissue characterization essential for phenotyping hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, identifying mitral valve abnormalities, and evaluating myocardial fibrosis for risk stratification.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MRI may aid visualization of obstruction substrates in HCM variants; leaves open its diagnostic superiority and practice impact.
Малов et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=75). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated on Diagnosis of various forms of HCM and combined abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging identified interventricular septum involvement in 64 patients, unusual apical/papillary forms in 11 patients, and myocardial crypts in 12 patients with suspected HCM.
