Myocardial Scar Detected by Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is Associated with Ventricular Tachycardia in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients

Myocardial scar imaged by CE-CMR is common in patients with HCM, and is predictive of VT. Scar is seen in all HCM variants, and is associated with maximal wall thickness. There may be a role for CE-CMR in improved risk stratification for individual patients with HCM.
