Myocardial fibrosis can arise from a range of pathological processes and its presence
correlates with adverse clinical outcomes. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide
a non-invasive assessment of cardiac structure, function, and tissue characteristics, which
includes late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) techniques to identify focal irreversible
replacement fibrosis with a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility. Importantly the
presence of LGE is consistently associated with adverse outcomes in a range of common …
