✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the extent of hyperenhancement and left ventricle maximal wall thickness (mWT) detected by LGE CMR and clinical events of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), implantation of cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or diastolic heart failure in HCM patients that underwent LGE CMR.
