About

Using cardiac MRI feature tracking to asses myocardial motion differences in athlete's heart and discovered hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients to increase diagnostic accuracy of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Full description

Cardiac MRI is the gold standard for assessing cardiac function without significant limitations of anatomical restrictions. CMR-FT helps in assessment of myocardial deformation on routinely obtained by steady state free precision (SSFP) cine images. CMR-FT is used in cardiac research and became common in clinical practice. It has been used in assessment of wide spectrum of cardiac diseases and provides for comprehensive and reliable assessments of heart function.

Inclusion criteria

• Patients suspected to be hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by echocardiography..
• Athletes and heavy workers,, healthy volunteers also included.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with absolute or relative contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging (e.g intra-ocular metallic foreign body, claustrophobia, etc) or contra-indication to MRI contrast medium.
