Abstract

The onset of sudden cardiac death and large inter- and intra-familial clinical variability of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pose an important clinical challenge. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a high-resolution imaging modality that has become increasingly available in the past decade and has the unique possibility to demonstrate the presence of fibrosis or scar using late gadolinium enhancement imaging. As a result, the diagnostic and prognostic potential of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has been extensively explored in acute and chronic ischaemic cardiomyopathy, as well as in several nonischaemic cardiomyopathies.
This review aims to provide a critical overview of recently published studies on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and discusses the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in differentiating underlying causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, such as familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac involvement in systemic disease and left ventricular hypertrophy due to endurance sports. Also, it demonstrates the use of cardiac magnetic resonance in risk stratification for the onset of sudden cardiac death, and early identification of asymptomatic family members of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients who are at risk for the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
