Abstract
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary cardiac disorder characterized by myocardial hypertrophy without increased afterload. This study set out to describe the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging characteristics of HCM and to evaluate correlations of selected CMR parameters with echocardiography.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 46 patients diagnosed at the Vietnam Heart Institute with HCM and underwent CMR at the Radiology Center, Bach Mai Hospital, from July 2021 to September 2022.
Results: A left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT)/aortic valve (AO) diameter ratio of ≥0.38 on CMR was consistent with an LVOT pressure gradient (PG) of <30 mmHg on echocardiography. The LVOT diameter and the LVOT/AO diameter ratio differed significantly between obstructive and non-obstructive HCM. The predominant phenotypes were diffuse asymmetric HCM (32.6%) and septal HCM (37%), followed by apical HCM (6.5%). Most late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) lesions were observed in the mid-wall of the hypertrophic segments. The mean LGE mass was significantly higher in the obstructive group than in the non-obstructive HCM group (p < 0.05). A strong negative correlation (r = -0.66) was found between the LVOT/AO diameter ratio on the CMR and the LVOT PG via echocardiography. Moreover, echocardiography detected morphologic risk factors for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in 80.4% of patients, whereas the corresponding proportion detected by CMR was 91.3%. Patients with systolic anterior motion (SAM) had a risk for a LVOT/AO diameter ratio <0.38, which was 5.7 times the risk observed in their counterparts without SAM.
Conclusions: The LVOT/AO diameter ratio detected by CMR is a precise index for classifying hemodynamic HCM groups. CMR was better than echocardiography for SCD risk stratification.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
