Structured PICO

Does cardiac MRI assessment of right ventricular function correlate with NYHA classification in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Population

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)

Intervention

Cardiac MRI assessing right ventricular function

Outcome

Correlation with New York Heart Function Assessment (NYHA) Classification / prediction of severe symptomatic HCMsurrogate

Cardiac MRI assessment of right ventricular dysfunction and decreased dimension can predict severe symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract

RV involvements were comparable to those of LV global function impairments in patients with HCM. The presence of RV dysfunction and decreased dimension on the MRI helped to predict the severe symptomatic HCM with high sensitivity and specificity.
