Assessment of Wall Thickness in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

February 4, 2019 updated by: Patricia A. Pellikka, Mayo Clinic
Assessment of wall thickness in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is of diagnostic and prognostic importance given its known association with sudden cardiac death. However, data regarding comparison of imaging modalities for this key measurement is lacking. This study seeks to compare assessment of maximum wall thickness between clinically indicated echocardiography (with and without contrast) and clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
