Description
Although incidence of sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has improved over the last 10 years, there has been no improvement in incidence of heart failure and no targeted therapies to reduce incidence of HF in HCM. We review CMR predictors of HF in HCM, in particular the role of myocardial replacement fibrosis and myocardial perfusion assessment
Article will review the current state of knowledge of HF in HCM and present recently published data using CMR to assess predictors of HF in HCM.
Learning Objectives
To close the gap outlined above, learners will need:
- To review the incidence of heart failure in HCM
- To review CMR predictors of heart failure in HCM
- To understand the limitations of the data presente
