Fibrotic lesions in the myocardium exhibit delayed contrast enhancement (DCE) on MR images. On the other hand, plexiform fibrosis is observed in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), indicating an association of this condition with the pathogenesis of heart failure and arrhythmia. To examine the occurr

## Background: Regional differences in resting myocardial blood flow (mbf) have been observed in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (hcm), but their determinants are currently unknown. this study verifies whether mbf at rest in hcm is related to delayed contrast enhancement (dce) or regional
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the relationship between delayed enhancement (DE) and regional left ventricular function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using gadolinium enhancement MRI and myocardial tagging MRI. ## Materials and Methods Cine imaging, delayed enhancement imaging, and ta
