Abstract
There are a number of diseases which can increase left ventricular myocardial wall thickness through a number of different mechanisms. Multi-parametric mapping techniques are a new addition to the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) armoury with a number of potential clinical roles. In this review article, we will explore the role of imaging in left ventricular hypertrophy, and particularly developments in CMR. We focus on ability of CMR to characterize myocardial tissue using multiparametric mapping (native T1, T2 and extracellular volume mapping), to bridge from the microscopic histological domain and into the clinical domain of non-invasive imaging.Entities:
