The aim of the study was to relate the extent of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement
(LGE) in cardiac MRI to intraoperative graft flow in patients undergoing coronary artery …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement
(LGE) can provide unique data on the transmural extent of scar/viability. We assessed the …

Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmia,
since myocardial infarction can be the substrate for re-entrant arrhythmias. Contrast …

Background Studies have demonstrated that infarct size estimated by CMR-LGE was an
independent determinant of adverse LV remodeling and dysfunction. Objective We sought to …

Background Only a minority of patients who receive an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
(ICD) on the basis of left ventricular ejection fraction receive appropriate ICD therapy. Peri …

Myocardial scar burden is an important prognostic factor after myocardial infarction. This
cohort study compared assessment of left ventricle scar burden between pathological Q …

Myocardial viability test to guide revascularization remains uncertain in patients with
ischemic cardiomyopathy. We evaluated the different impacts of revascularization on cardiac …

Objectives We hypothesized that myocardial scar characterization using cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging (CMR) may be associated with the occurrence of ventricular …

(1) Background: The inflammatory response following MI plays an important role in the
healing, scar formation, and left ventricle (LV) remodeling. Cardiac magnetic resonance …

Background This study used late gadolinium enhancement-cardiac magnetic resonance
(LGE-CMR) to assess myocardial infarct size, with the data being employed to predict …
