Our systematic review of more than 3000 HCM patients suggests an association of abnormal LV-GLS with adverse composite cardiac outcomes and ventricular arrhythmias.

There is decreased TcPYP uptake in apical as compared to mid and basal segments in the LV, mimicking apical-sparing LS seen on echocardiography. Regional distribution of LV TcPYP uptake is associated with mortality, whereas overall amount of uptake as measured by H/CL ratio and indexed LV SPECT uptake is not.

In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, multimodality imaging is crucial to confirm diagnosis, assess for presence and mechanism of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and risk stratification for sudden cardiac death. This review will focus on the application of imaging to assess established and emerging factors to be considered in sudden cardiac death risk stratification.
