Background Drawing on accumulated patient data from a hospital database, the goal of this
retrospective study was to analyze cardiac function associated with global preoperative …

Background Previous studies demonstrated that scar tissue assessed by late gadolinium
enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR) is associated with …

Background Previous studies have shown that viable myocardium predicts recovery of left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction after revascularization. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic …

OBJECTIVES Post-infarction myocardial scar causes adverse left ventricular remodelling
and negatively affects the prognosis. We sought to investigate whether scar extent and …

Background Scar burden by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) is associated with functional recovery after coronary artery bypass surgery …

The prognosis for patients with a residual scar from myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary
artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) has not been fully evaluated, so the present study …

Objective Post-infarction myocardial scar as detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
is associated with adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and negatively affects the …

Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine whether the extent of left ventricular
scar, measured with delayed hyperenhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DHE-CMR) …

Objective In patients with ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction, multivessel disease and
dominance of necrotic myocardium, perioperative mortality due to coronary artery bypass …

Background. In patients (pts) with chronic heart failure, late gadolinium enhancement
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) is capable to distinguish left ventricular …
