Radiomic Analysis of Myocardial Native T₁ Imaging Discriminates Between Hypertensive Heart Disease and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study sought to examine the diagnostic ability of radiomic texture analysis (TA) on quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance images to differentiate between hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Background

HHD and HCM are associated with increased left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT). Contemporary guidelines define HCM as LVWT ≥15 mm that is unexplained by other disease, which complicates diagnosis in cases of co-occurrences. Conventional global native T₁ mapping involves calculation of mean T₁ values as a surrogate for fibrosis. However, there may be differences in its spatial localization, such as diffuse and more focal fibrosis in HHD and HCM, respectively.
