Structured PICO

P

Population

26 patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (APH) diagnosed by echocardiography and ECG

I

Intervention

Cardiac MR imaging with first-pass stress perfusion, cine, and late gadolinium-enhancement (LGE)

O

Outcome

Prevalence and pattern of perfusion defect (PD) in relation to the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and late gadolinium-enhancement (LGE)surrogate

First-pass stress perfusion MRI reveals a high prevalence of perfusion defects in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which correlate with maximal LV wall thickness and the extent of hypertrophy.

Implication

Stress perfusion MRI defects in apical HCM may signal ischemia; leaves open prognostic value and role in management pending outcome studies.
