Cardiac MRI - Severe hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

[avc2346108942]

Dear Dr. Russo, as a UK PhD student researching the mechanisms underlying diastolic heart failure, can you explain (if you can), how a hypertrophied myocardium eventuallyleads of ventricular dilation? Does this process occur, or is it rather that the ventricle hypertrophies to such an extent that diastole is dramatically impeded with subsequent deterioration of cardiac output. Best wishes
