Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetically inherited cardiac disorder. It is characterised by a diffuse or segmental left ventricular hypertrophy. Its diagnosis is based largely on magnetic resonance imaging owing to its precise determination of myocardial anatomy for phenotype classification and risk stratification. This study discusses different phenotypes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on magnetic resonance imaging.

肥厚性心肌病(HCM)是最常見的基因遺傳心臟疾病。其特徵為擴散性或節段性左心室肥大,其診斷主要基於磁共振成像(MRI),因其能精確測定心肌解剖並作表型分類和風險分層。本文討論HCM在MRI上的不同表型。
