Abstract
The aim of this paper is to guide the interpretation of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) through clinical examples acquired in daily practice. The clinical utility of cardiac MRI for determining the etiologies of LVH and stratifying their risks for heart failure and cardiac death is enhanced by combining clinical information, including patient's age, family history, and noncardiac past history in patients with LVH. In this review, we report the clinical information necessary for interpreting cardiac MRI of patients with LVH. Next, the cardiac MRI sequences and their interpretation for differentiating LVH are described. Finally, we review clinical examples presenting with LVH on MRI.
