Abstract

BACKGROUND: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) typically represents myocardial fibrosis and may lead to fatal ventricular arrhythmias. However, CMR is resource-intensive and sometimes contraindicated. Thus, in patients with HCM, we aimed to detect LGE on CMR by applying machine learning (ML) algorithm to clinical parameters.
