Abstract

Scar signal quantification using late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) identifies patients at higher risk of future events, both in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, the ability of scar signal burden to predict events in such patient groups at the time of referral for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has not been well explored. This study evaluates the predictive use of multiple scar quantification measures in ICM and DCM patients being referred for ICD. One hundred twenty-four consecutive patients referred for ICD therapy (59 with ICM and 65 with DCM) underwent a standardized LGE-CMR protocol with blinded, multithreshold scar signal quantification and, for those with ICM, peri-infarct signal quantification. Patients were followed prospectively for the primary combined outcome of appropriate ICD therapy, survived cardiac arrest, or sudden cardiac death. At a mean follow-up of 632 ± 262 days, 18 patients (15%) had suffered the primary outcome. Total scar was significantly higher among those suffering a primary outcome, a relationship maintained within each cardiomyopathy cohort (P<0.01 for all comparisons). Total scar was the strongest inde...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
