Key result
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in two patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy demonstrated apical aneurysms with abnormal gadolinium uptake indicating a bright rim of fibrous tissue.
Case Report (n=2)
CMR with gadolinium enhancement effectively visualizes apical aneurysms, cavity obliteration, and fibrous tissue in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid apical aneurysm detection by CMR in HCM; leaves open effects on risk stratification or management.
Zenovich et al. (2004) conducted a case report in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy With Apical Aneurysm (n=2). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was evaluated on Imaging characteristics of apical aneurysm. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in two patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy demonstrated apical aneurysms with abnormal gadolinium uptake indicating a bright rim of fibrous tissue.
