Despite several electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, electrophysiologic and pathologic studies, the cause of abnormal Q waves in patients with HCM remains unclear. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful in vivo diagnostic tool for evaluating cardiac morphology and function. We hypothesized that estimation of segmental and transmural extent of myocardial enhancement by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) CMR could clarify the basis of Q waves. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the morphological basis of abnormal Q waves in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as assessed by CMR.
