DOES FOCAL LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCEMENT AT THE RIGHT VENTRICULAR INSERTION POINTS MATTER IN RISK STRATIFICATION FOR SUDDEN DEATH IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

2013

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with extensive late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is a novel marker for increased risk for sudden death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) presumably due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias emanating from areas of replacement fibrosis. Of particular
