Assessment of Wall Thickness in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Completed
Conditions
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Registration Number
NCT02234336
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Assessment of wall thickness in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is of diagnostic and prognostic importance given its known association with sudden cardiac death. However, data regarding comparison of imaging modalities for this key measurement is lacking. This study seeks to compare assessment of maximum wall thickness between clinically indicated echocardiography (with and without contrast) and clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Detailed Description

Patients receiving clinically indicated echocardiograms and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at Mayo Clinic will be eligible.
