Right ventricular involvement in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The aim of this study was to assess, using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), whether morphologic right ventricular (RV) abnormalities are present in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). Left ventricular hypertrophy has been considered the predominant phenotypic expression of HC. Whether structural abnormalities of the right ventricle are also present in HC is unknown.
