Abstract: | We report a case of a 43-year-old male patient with an atypical nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a calcified left ventricular thrombus, and present results of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) using retrospective electrocardiograph gating, which is a new modality in cardiac imaging. Obtaining virtually motion-free images with a temporal resolution of 250 ms in an optimized heart scan MSCT allows functional imaging with evaluation of impaired systolic and diastolic left ventricular wall motion. |
