Myocardial diseases are associated with an increased risk of potentially fatal cardiac
arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death/cardiac arrest during exercise, including hypertrophic …

Background Risk stratification for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden death in
nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains suboptimal. Objectives The goal of this …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a valuable tool for the evaluation of patients with, or

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the association between the extent, location, and
pattern of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and outcome in a large dilated …

Aortic stenosis is characterized both by progressive valve narrowing and the left ventricular
remodeling response that ensues. The only effective treatment is aortic valve replacement …

Objectives: This review and meta-analysis reviews the prognostic value of cardiac magnetic
