Overview

Echocardiography is the imaging modality of choice in the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Diagnostic Fefatures

  • Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) most often in an asymmetric distribution,
  • Thickening of the left ventricular wall in the absence of cavitary dilation and the presence of hyperdynamic activity (in fact there may be systolic cavity obliteration or near obliteration)
  • Absnece of any other cause of left ventricular hypertrophy such as aortic stenosis or hypertension
