In recent years, significant advances have been made in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, which has led to an important improvement in their longevity and quality of life. The use of multimodality imaging has an essential role in the diagnosis, assessing the regional distribution and severity of the disease, with important prognostic implications. At the same time, imaging contributes to the identification of optimal treatment for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, whether it is pharmaceutical, interventional or surgical treatment. Novel pharmacotherapies (like myosin inhibitors), minimally invasive procedures (such as transcatheter mitral valve repair, high-intensity focused ultrasound or radiofrequency ablation) and gene-directed approaches, may soon become alternatives for HCM patients. However, there are only few data on the early diagnosis of patients with HCM, in order to initiate treatment as soon as possible, to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The aim of our review is to highlight the advantages of contemporary imaging in choosing the optimal management strategies for HCM patients, considering the novel therapies which are currently applied or studied for these patients.
