Incremental value of Late Gadolinium Enhancement by Cardiac MRI in risk stratification of heart failure patients with moderate and severe LV dysfunction.

Objective: This is a prospective study of patients with LVEF ≤40%, with the objective of correlating CV events to LGE detected and quantified by CMRI.

Methods: Heart Failure (HF) patients with LVEF <40% who underwent CMRI were included. LGE volume of ≥6% of the myocardial volume was considered significant.
