Cardiovascular magnetic resonance T2* mapping for structural alterations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ConclusionIn this study, parametric mapping identified lower T2* values in HCM patients compared to controls, especially in a sub-group of patients with myocardial fibrosis. As myocardial fibrosis has been suggested to influence prognosis of patients with HCM, T2* mapping may add information for identifying a higher risk sub-group of HCM patients.Graphical abstract
