Prognostic impact of late gadolinium enhancement at the right ventricular insertion points in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy

Abstract

In a large cohort of DCM patients, IP-LGE was associated with similar outcome when compared with LGE- patients and with significant lower risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death when compared with LGE+ cases. Patients with IP&LV-LGE had clinical characteristics and outcomes similar to the rest of LGE+ cases.
