Echocardiography as a Screening Test for Myocardial Scarring in Children with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Figure 3
Sample images from echocardiography (a) and cMRI (b) performed on an 8-year-old male patient with HCM demonstrating a false positive result on echocardiography. (a) demonstrates increased echogenicity of the septal myocardium (white arrow) with no corresponding abnormality seen at cMRI; note the homogeneous signal of the septal myocardium. (RV: right ventricle, LV: left ventricle, and SM: septal myocardium).
