| Popis: | The assessment of ventricular hypertrophy is an increasingly common indication for cardiac MR (CMR) in every day clinical practice. CMR is useful to confirm the presence of hypertrophy and to help to define the underlying cause through a combination of a detailed assessment of ventricular function and tissue characterising sequences. As well as being a useful diagnostic tool, some CMR imaging features are of prognostic significance. In this article, we review the typical appearances of common forms of ventricular hypertrophy, focussing principally on left ventricular hypertrophy, and demonstrate the techniques that can be used to differentiate one form of hypertrophy from another. |
