2 In-vivo diffusion tensor cardiovascular magnetic resonance detects the arrangement and dynamic nature of right ventricular microstructure in health and disease

Abstract

p=0.005). G+LVH-with perfusion defects had lower FA than G+LVH-without perfusion defects (0.31±0.3 vs 0.32±0.02 p=0.018). Conclusion MVD and disarray are present, detectable and associate in G+LVH-. Overt HCM is characterised by more myocyte disarray and MVD than both G+LVH-and health. Subtle differences in MVD and disarray occur between G +LVH+ and G-LVH+ with perfusion defects being ubiquitous in genotype positive HCM.
