Imaging findings
Abnormal thickening of the interventricular septum was observed, consistent with the classic location for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Subsequent cardiac MR confirmed asymmetric thickening along the septum with striking delayed enhancement, which is typical for this entity.
Key takeaways
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of cardiac arrest, even in otherwise healthy individuals. It is characterized by asymmetric thickening of the interventricular septum, readily visible on CT and further characterized by delayed enhancement on cardiac MR.
