Why the study?

Does CMR imaging aid in the differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Structured PICO

Does CMR imaging aid in the differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Population

71-year-old male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of unknown origin, presenting with heart failure (NYHA class III), atrial fibrillation, and normal LV ejection fraction.

Intervention

Late gadolinium-enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging

Outcome

Differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (identification of cardiac amyloidosis)surrogate

CMR with LGE provides incremental value in the differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by identifying characteristic patterns of cardiac amyloidosis.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May aid CMR-LGE differentiation of amyloid from HCM mimics; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
