Evidence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has been
associated with the development of arrhythmias and
sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM). One of the challenges is how to
improve the predictive value of LGE in HCM as
enhancement may appear heterogeneous. Texture analysis
was applied to quantify enhancement heterogeneity in HCM
patients considered at high risk of SCD and those who
are not. These features were significantly elevated in
patients considered at high risk of SCD, even in
non-hypertrophic, non-fibrotic segments (ie, normal
appearing). Quantitative textural features show
potential for assisting in risk stratification in HCM.
