Abstract

The interesting data reported by Bernhardt et al. strengthen the diagnostic benefit of CMR in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Consequently, the presence, location and size of the CMR-determined scar tissue may be used for better risk stratification in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy eligible for ICD therapy.
