Coincidence of bicuspid aortic valve presence and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and significance of magnetic resonance in its diagnostics

Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex heart disease with a typical pathophysiological characteristic, and with a wide scale of morphologic, functional, and clinical symptoms. The presented case study describes a case of coincidence of a patient with HCM and bicuspid aortic valve, on which we wanted to point out the benefit of the NMR examination and efficiency of alcohol septal ablation with a positive result in a long-term monitoring.
