Abstract

AIM: To determine whether myocardial scarring, quantified using late gadolinium enhancement-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR), predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 45 patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy [age 67.1 +/- 10.4 years (m...
