Abstract
We present 4D images of hypertrophied myocardium in patients with essential hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using helical computed tomography (CT) ( Figures 1 through 4⇓⇓⇓⇓). Previously, we reported on 4D CT-ventriculography, which can assess right and left ventricular morphology and motion.1 In 4D ventriculography, we used only information about the inner cavities of the heart, and we discarded information regarding the myocardium. However, it is important to estimate the extent and function of the hypertrophied myocardium. Therefore, we retrieved and dealt with informa-tion about the myocardium as demonstrated in a 4D manner (4D myocardiography). Methods …
