CINE IMAGES
- markedly increased wall thickness: left ventricle (LV) 20 mm; right ventricle (RV) 6 mm
- asymmetric increase in LV wall thickness most markedly affecting the septal segments, and more so the basal and mid cavity
- overall mildly impaired LV systolic function
- severely impaired mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and mildly impaired tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)
- moderately dilated left atrial area
- small pericardial effusion
LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCED IMAGES
- abnormal coincident nulling of the blood pool and myocardium
- diffuse transmural late gadolinium enhancement of the LV, RV, and right atrium
- rapid clearance of gadolinium from the blood pool
