Role of CMR-FT in Assessment of HCM and Athlete's Heart.

February 28, 2025 updated by: Abdelrahman Abdelmageed Ragab, Sohag University

The Role of Cardiac MRI Feature Tracking in Assessment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Athlete's Heart.

Using cardiac MRI feature tracking to asses myocardial motion differences in athlete's heart and discovered hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients to increase diagnostic accuracy of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Detailed Description

Cardiac MRI is the gold standard for assessing cardiac function without significant limitations of anatomical restrictions. CMR-FT helps in assessment of myocardial deformation on routinely obtained by steady state free precision (SSFP) cine images. CMR-FT is used in cardiac research and became common in clinical practice. It has been used in assessment of wide spectrum of cardiac diseases and provides for comprehensive and reliable assessments of heart function.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Use of cardiac MRI feature tracking in detection of myocardial deformation abnormalities and diagnostic confirmation and detection of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Time Frame: 6months to 12 months

The main goal of the study is evaluating the role of Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking analysis in detection of myocardial deformation abnormalities in cases of hypertrophic cardio myopathy and compare it with physiological hypertrophy in athletes.
