Abstract

This prospective observational study sought to correlate segmental late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) seen in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. LGE was assessed in a 17-segmental model of heart. Of 57 patients, VAs were present in 26.3% of patients and 10.5% had sustained ventricular tachycardia. LGE was present in 43.9% of patients. Presence of LGE in 4 or more segments was associated with VAs with a sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 76% with area under curve of 0.733 in C-statistics.
