title: [The role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Part I].
abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic cardiomyopathy in our population. The diagnosis of this disease is based on imaging methods, mainly echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance offers more accurate and detailed information about the disease than echocardiography. Development of this method has become a standard part of the diagnostic algorithm. In the first part of review, the authors analyze the potential and significance of cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Key words: cardiac magnetic resonance - fibrosis - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
