Abstract Details

2024, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Clinical Research.
In 344 patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with a prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging within 12 months prior to device implantation, significant burden of late-gadolinium enhancement was a strong predictor of appropriate device therapies (hazard ratio 2.99, 95% CI 1.48- 6.02, p=0.002) but not of all-cause mortality, heart transplant, or left ventricular assist device implantation (hazard ratio 1.34, 95% CI 0.78-2.29, p=0.287). This suggests LGE burden is a relatively specific predictor of sudden cardiac arrest risk and therefore could potentially be used during evaluation for prophylactic ICD implantation.
