Utility of late gadolinium enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients in an Indian cohort.

This prospective observational study sought to correlate segmental late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) seen in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. LGE was assessed in a 17-segmental model of heart. Of 57 patients, VAs were present in 26.
