The most important use of the Valsalva maneuver is to distinguish the murmur of aortic stenosis from hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy — or simply to bring forth the murmur of HOCM.

Self-gated imaging allows high-quality cardiac MRI with no additional hardware requirements (such as the use of ECG electrodes) and potential pitfalls of signal interferences and disruption and has ...
