Findings
was changed:
ImpressiveThere is an impressive degree of hypertrophy involving nearly all segments except the septoapical and apexapical aspects of the heart.Systolic anterior motion of the mitral leaflet is seen due to the Venturi effect. Whether this leaflet is elongated or not cannot be assessed due to flow voids artifactsvoid artefact.Patchy midwallmid-wall enhancements are consistent with fibrosis.No There is no thrombus.
