[Abstract] 4D Flow MRI is an in vivo non-invasive quantitative blood flow imaging technique that has been rapidly developed in recent years. It is used in hemodynamic studies of cardiac large vessels, head and neck, and peripheral blood vessels. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common primary and hereditary heart disease in clinic. This article mainly introduces the imaging principle of 4D Flow MRI and its application in HCM. The relevant literature is intended to summarize the characteristics of hemodynamic parameters of HCM obtained by 4D Flow MRI technology, and provide imaging evidence for early intervention and treatment of HCM patients.
