Asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy (>12-15 mm, commonly located at the base of the interventricular septum) leads to narrowing of the outflow tract. Affects flow dynamics and gives rise to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve.
MRI

•  Useful for assessing the distribution of disease and wall thickness.
•  Note—fibrotic tissue within the interventricular septum leads to patchy, delayed enhancement postcontrast.
