Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic disorder with a well described risk of sudden cardiac death; however, risk stratification has remained a challenge. Recently, novel parameters in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) have shown promise in helping to improve upon current risk stratification paradigms. In this manuscript, we have reviewed novel CMR risk markers and their utility in HCM. The results of the review showed that T1, extracellular volume, CMR feature tracking, and other miscellaneous novel CMR variables have the potential to improve sudden death risk stratification and may have additional roles in diagnosis and prognosis...
