Analysis of three-chamber view conventional and tagged cine MRI in patients with suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

DISCUSSION: The 3Ch tagged MRI sequence provides useful information for the examination of suspected HCM patients, with minimal additional time cost. Local wall function is closely associated with morphological changes of the mitral apparatus measured in the same plane and may provide insights into mechanisms of obstruction. The additional strain information may be helpful when analyzing local myocardial wall motion patterns in the presence of SK. PMID: 32152793 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
