title: [Computed tomography, magnetic resonance tomography and echocardiography in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].
abstract: The value of echo-cardiography, CT and magnetic resonance tomography was evaluated in 10 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography made the diagnosis in most cases. The diagnostic criteria depended on functional and morphological changes. CT and magnetic resonance can show thickening in the myocardium, either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Magnetic resonance tomography provides excellent demonstration of the myocardium and accurate delineation of the degree of hypertrophy. It is well suited for measuring cardiac wall thickness.
