Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disease characterized by myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. The phenotypic expression ranges from asymptomatic patients to heart failure and sudden death.1 Disease progression and relationship between hypertrophy and fibrosis are not well understood. Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) mapping on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can demonstrate pixel-by-pixel ECV elevation (focal or diffuse fibrosis) or reduction (cellular hypertrophy).2 Furthermore, it has been shown that physical training induces remodelling of both heart and vasculature.3,4 In particular, it has been shown that hypertrophied myocardium in athletes has lower ECV, suggesting that cardiac athletic adaptation is an adaptive one caused predominantly by cellular rather than interstitial expansion.4 Hypothesizing that ECV mapping can reveal both differential responses of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), we explored the distribution of ECV in HCM.
