Assessment of myocardial fibre structure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging

<p>Myocardial disarray is a likely focus for fatal ventricular arrhythmia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Measuring the extent of this disarray could provide a better and more mechanistic marker of arrhythmic sudden cardiac death (SCD). Disarray may be inferred by using diffusion tensor...
