Abstract(s)
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a frequent imaging finding in the general population. In order to identify the precise etiology, a comprehensive diagnostic approach should be adopted, including the prevalence of each entity that may cause LVH, family history, clinical, electrocardiographic and imaging findings. By providing a detailed evaluation of the myocardium, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has assumed a central role in the differential diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy, with the technique of parametric imaging allowing more refined tissue characterization. This article aims to establish a parallel between pathophysiological features and imaging findings through the broad spectrum of LVH entities, emphasizing the role of CMR in the differential diagnosis.
