Cardiovascular magnetic resonance determinants of ventricular arrhythmic events after myocardial infarction

Abstract

The mass of BZC is the strongest independent variable associated with the occurrence of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in post-MI patients after adjustment for age, sex, and LVEF. Border zone channel mass measurement could permit a more accurate VT risk stratification than LVEF in chronic post-MI patients.
