Anteroapical displacement. a Illustration showing apical displacement of the papillary muscles (A and P) resulting in leaflet slack and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during systole. b Four-chamber cine 3D-SSFP image shows anteroapical displacement of hypertrophied bifid papillary muscles (arrow) in a patient with HCM. c Short-axis SSFP MRI image at the apical level shows the presence of double bifid papillary muscles (arrows), indicating anteroapical displacement
