Abstract
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with apical aneurysm (AAn) is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. However, the real incidence of AAn tends to be underrecognized due to the poor visualization of left ventricular (LV) apex with echocardiography. This study sought to investigate the exact incidence and associated manifestations of AAn using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with HCM.
Highlights
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with apical aneurysm (AAn) is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality
A total of 350 consecutive patients diagnosed with HCM underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and echocardiography
We divided the subjects into 4 phenotypes according to the location of hypertrophic segment; asymmetrical septal hypertrophy (ASH), apical, concentric and septal/apical type
Summary
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with apical aneurysm (AAn) is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The real incidence of AAn tends to be underrecognized due to the poor visualization of left ventricular (LV) apex with echocardiography. This study sought to investigate the exact incidence and associated manifestations of AAn using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with HCM
