Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. a Short-axis view SSFP image shows severe hypertrophy of the ventricular septum (straight arrow) and hypertrophy of the papillary muscles (curved arrows). b Short-axis SSFP image in another patient shows 3 papillary muscles which are hypertrophied (curved arrows). c Short-axis view delayed-enhancement image shows extensive mid-myocardial delayed enhancement (black arrows) due to interstitial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The posteromedial papillary muscle also shows patchy areas of delayed enhancement (white arrow)
