Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and clinical significance of high signal intensity of the myocardium on T2-weighted images (T2-HI) in 2 phenotypes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). METHODS: Thirty-six patients with asymmetrical septal HCM (ASH) and 18 patients with apical HCM (APH) and their 864 myocardial segments were investigated. The distribution of T2-HI was compared with...
