Why the study?
Does CMR assessment reveal distinct apical morphological features in subjects with unexplainable giant T-wave inversion and apical wall thickness <15 mm compared to healthy volunteers?

May indicate preclinical apical HCM; leaves open need for longitudinal CMR studies before surveillance changes.
Does CMR assessment reveal distinct apical morphological features in subjects with unexplainable giant T-wave inversion and apical wall thickness <15 mm compared to healthy volunteers?
Subjects with unexplainable giant T-wave inversion and apical wall thickness <15 mm exhibit distinct apical morphological features on CMR, suggesting they may represent a preclinical stage of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
