Late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance for sudden cardiac death risk stratification in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Background Although myocardial fibrosis identified by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) may predict adverse outcomes among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), its precise role in risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains unresolved. Previous studies have relied on broad surrogate composite endpoints and were underpowered to a...

Ischemic late gadolinium enhancement.

While research exploring the utility of intravascular gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCA), such as gadofosveset (Vasovist, ABLAVAR) is ongoing, cardiac MR is currently routinely performed with administration of standard extracellular GBCAs, e.g. Gd-DTPA (Magnevist) or Gd-BOPTA (Multihance). LGE is a phenomenon related to the distribution of the extracellular GBCAs. Upon intravenous injectio...
