## TL;DR

This paper shows how 4D flow CMR can track blood flow in the heart to detect blockages when other methods fail.

## Contribution

The novel use of stress 4D flow CMR for diagnosing dynamic left ventricular outflow track obstruction is introduced.

## Key findings

- Stress 4D flow CMR provides accurate diagnosis of LVOT obstruction.
- It enables detailed assessment of hemodynamics when echocardiography is insufficient.
- The method improves clinical decision-making in complex cardiac cases.

## Abstract

Stress 4D flow CMR is a powerful non‐invasive tool for diagnosing and localizing dynamic LVOT obstruction. By quantifying peak velocities and flow patterns under stress, it provides critical insights into hemodynamics, especially when echocardiography is limited, enabling accurate diagnosis and improved clinical decision‐making in complex cases.
