Abstract:
Cardiac MRI (CMR) is an essential tool for the evaluation of the patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). First, the accurate morphologic imaging and measures that are possible with CMR help to ascertain the diagnosis. Second, the tissue characterization that can be done with MRI helps to define the abnormalities in the myocardium and to identify areas of fibrosis that have been linked to increase risk of sudden cardiac death and heart failure. In addition, CMR can help distinguish HCM from similar disease processes.
