Cardiovascular Imaging of Patients with HCM

Сообщение Pyankov Vasily »

Clinical Recommendations for Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging of Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, JASE, May 2011. Endorsed by the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, and Society of Cardiac Computed Tomography.

Advances in cardiac imaging have brought an increasing complexity of imaging choices for busy clinicians. Clininicians can image the heart using ultrasound, MRI, CT or nuclear cardiology techniques. Physicians need to make appropriate choices among the imaging options to avoid duplicate testing or getting studies which don't address the clinical question. For physicians caring for patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), a new resource is available to assist this process. Unlike many guideline documents which focus on a specific type of cardiac imaging (CT, MRI, etc), this paper brings together experts across all types of cardiac imaging to focus on a specific clinical disorder. This guideline reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the different ways to image the heart in patients with HCM. By taking a critical look at the most commonly used cardiac imaging modalities and most common clinical questions in patients with HCM, this guide should prove to be a valuable resource.
