SummaryBackgroundHypertrophic cardiomyopathies (HCM) are often associated with left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction, which can explain symptoms and impact prognosis.AimsTo better understand the mechanisms that link obstruction and LV shape in HCM.MethodsPatients with HCM who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were included retrospectively. Obstructive HCM was defined as LV outflow gradient more than 30mmHg at rest by transthoracic echocardiography. The LV shape and mitral angle were assessed by CMR. Results were compared with control subjects.ResultsMean LV-mitral angle was smaller in patients with obstructive HCM (n=29) than in patients with non-obstructive HCM (n=15) or control subjects (n=15) (80±5° vs 87±7° [P=0.0002] and 89±2° [P |
