Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common heritable cardiomyopathy with various clinical phenotypes. A rare spiral variant has been recently reported that has been associated with adverse outcomes and has traditionally been diagnosed using cardiac magnetic resonance. We report a case of the rare variant spiral hypertrophic cardiomyopathy where we used transthoracic echocardiography with an ultrasound enhancing agent to demonstrate the geometry of spiral hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and compared to simultaneous cardiac MRI images. The use of echocardiography with ultrasound enhancing agents may prove to be a valuable tool in identifying the geometry of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy variants in selected patients.
