Cardiac MR Imaging of Flow Abnormalities in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

MR imaging is increasingly used in evaluation of patients with known or suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), as it provides useful information on cardiac structure, function, and tissue characterization that is complementary to echocardiography. While the adverse effect of left ventricle (LV) outflow tract obstruction on blood flow patterns is well characterized by the midsystolic drop in LV ejection...
