  • Title: 3D echocardiographic imaging of a septal myocardial cleft in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Cagli K, Golbasi Z, Turak O, Ozeke O, Ekizler FA.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2016 Dec; 33(12):1929-1930. PubMed ID: 27659039.
    Abstract:
    Myocardial clefts are defined as narrow, deep blood-filled invaginations within the left ventricular myocardium. They occur in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with different frequency and represent a distinctive morphological expression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Although two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography is able to detect myocardial clefts in some cases, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging with its high spatial resolution can detect myocardial clefts not visualized with echocardiography. In this report, we represent multimodality imaging of a septal myocardial cleft in a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient.
