Why the study?
To evaluate the patterns of left ventricular hypertrophy and late gadolinium enhancement in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
What are the patterns of left ventricular hypertrophy and late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
What are the patterns of left ventricular hypertrophy and late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy is the most common morphological pattern, and the extent of late gadolinium enhancement correlates significantly with LV wall thickness and myocardial mass index.

LVH and LGE patterns in HCM should not yet change practice; leaves open prospective validation of prognostic utility.
