Short Description: Left ventricular (LV) apical aneurysms in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are a recognized risk marker for adverse cardiovascular events. There is variable practice among clinicians and discordance between international guidelines regarding treatment recommendations and prognostication for this important phenotype. The authors sought to describe the morphology, clinical course, and risk of adverse events in a large single-center cohort of HCM patients with LV apical aneurysms.
Interest: Cardiac Imaging, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Medical Imaging
