Presence of delayed enhancement (DE) on magnetic resonance (CMR) is associated with worse clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We investigated the relationship between DE on CMR, and myocardial ischemia in HCM. HCM patients (n=47) underwent CMR for assessment of DE and vasodilator stress ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) to quantify myocardial blood flow (MBF) and coronary flow reserve (CFR). The summed difference score (SDS) for regional myocardial perfusion (rMP) was also assessed. Patients in the DE-group (n=35) had greater LV wall thickness (2.09 ± 0.44 vs. 1.78 ± 0.34 cm; P 0.03). Stress MBF (2.25 ± 0.46 vs. 1.78 ± 0.43 ml/min/g, P = 0.01), and CFR (2.78 ± 0.32 vs. 2.01 ± 0.52, P < 0.001) were significantly lower in DE-positive patients. SDS (7.3 ± 6.6 vs. 0.9 ± 1.4, P < 0.0001) was significantly higher in patients with DE. A CFR < 2.00 was seen in 18 patients (51%) with DE, but in none of the DE-negative patients (P <0.0001). CMR and PET showed visually concordant DE and rMP abnormalities in 31 patients and absence of DE and perfusion defects in 9 patients. Four DE-positive patients demonstrated normal rMP, and 3 DE-negative patients had (apical) rMP abnormalities. We found a close relationship between DE by CMR and microvascular function in the majority of the patients studied. However, a small proportion of patients had DE in the absence of perfusion abnormalities, suggesting that microvascular dysfunction and ischemia are not the sole causes of DE in HCM patients.
