Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disorder. It is the most common reason of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes. Prevention of these deaths is of high concern among physicians. Patients with high risk of SCD are canditates for implantable cardioverter device therapy. Cardiac imaging modalities provide important data in risk stratification for identifying HCM patients with high risk of SCD and interpreting the data obtained by different imaging modalities is important for prevention of SCD in this population. In this review, we evaluated the role of imaging modalities and their values in risk stratification of patients with HCM
