Abstract
Imaging plays a major role in the evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, offering answers to clinical questions. Imaging techniques provide a broad spectrum of information, including morphological data, functional information, and ischaemia assessment, useful in many clinical settings of HCM. The clinical diagnosis of HCM is based on unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by imaging, though the role of genetic diagnosis has increased. A multimodality imaging (MMI) approach is encouraged in HCM. Each technique must be selected to provide solutions to the specific problems, avoiding duplicated data, and taking into account its technical characteristics, availability, benefits, risks, and costs.
