Prognostic significance of the extent of septal fibrosis quantified on late gadolium enhanced images in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy

چکیده
Background Midwall septal fibrosis on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been shown to be an independent predictor of adverse events in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM). Recent studies in other cardiomyopathy cohorts, such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, suggest that LGE extent provides incremental prognostic value over its binary presence or absence. The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of septal LGE quantification for the prediction of arrhythmic events among patients with NICM.

Introduction: Accurate delineation of myocardial fibrosis in Late Gadolinium Enhancement on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (LGE-CMR) has a crucial role in the assessment and risk stratification of HCM patients. As this is time-consuming and requires expertise, automation can be essential in accelerating this process. This study aims to use Unet-based deep learning methods to automate the mentioned ...

BACKGROUND The association of local electrogram features with scar morphology and distribution in nonischemic cardiomyopathy has not been investigated. We aimed to quantify the association of scar on late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance with local electrograms and ventricular tachycardia circuit sites in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen pati...

IMPORTANCE Risk stratification of patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy is primarily based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Superior prognostic factors may improve patient selection for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and other management decisions. OBJECTIVE To determine whether myocardial fibrosis (detected by late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular...

BACKGROUND Late gadolinium enhancement-cardiac magnetic resonance is increasingly performed in patients with systolic dysfunction. Numerous patterns of fibrosis are commonly reported among this population. However, the relative prevalence and prognostic significance of these findings remains uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS Three hundred eighteen consecutive patients referred for late gadoliniu...

Background Contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has emerged as an in vivo marker of myocardial fibrosis, although its significance in identifying high risk hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients remains unresolved. Previous meta-analyses have included studies with data involving overlapping patient populations, thus confounding eff...
