Solitary papillary muscle hypertrophy. a Three-chamber SSFP image shows significant hypertrophy of the papillary muscles (curved arrows), without significant myocardial hypertrophy, which is causing narrowing of the mid-ventricular cavity in systole. b Three-chamber SSFP image in another patient shows hypertrophy of the anterolateral papillary muscle (curved arrow) with normal thickness of the LV myocardium
