## Abstract A real‐time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition sequence was evaluated for the assessment of left ventricular wall motion (WM) and wall thickening (WT). Ten normal volunteers and 21 patients were studied. Short‐axis cine images of the left ventricle (LV) were acquired with a fa
