Promising but preliminary

A novel convolution-transformer model for differentiating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from Phenocopies using cardiac MRI.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent inherited cardiomyopathy. Its left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) phenotype exhibits substantial radiological overlap with HCM phenocopies such as Hypertensive Heart Disease (HHD) and Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA), posing significant challenges to clinical differential diagnosis.
