Microvascluar perfusion abnormality and ischemia condition could be an important risk factor for the clinical assessment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM). We preliminarily investigate the difference of myocardial microvascluar perfusion between HCM patients and normal volunteers with low-multi-b values(0,20,50,100,200 s/mm2) diffusion weighted imaging. We found that the measurement parameters reflected microvasluar perfusion (Standard ADC, Slow ADC, Fast ADC and fraction of Fast ADC value)in HCM patients were significant lower than that of normal volunteers. We conclude that low-multi-b values diffusion weighted imaging could quantitatively and noninvasively evaluate the perfusion status in HCM patients .
