Background Myocardial inflammation is a prominent cause of non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure (HF) and sudden cardiac death. Methods This is a prospective multicentre longitudinal study of consecutive patients referred to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with clinically suspected myocardial inflammation between October 2011 and December 2019 as a part of standard diagnostic pathway. Patients were followed up from the date of CMR. The outcome endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE, cardiovascular mortality, sudden cardiac death, appropriate device discharge); or death or hospitalisation due to HF). A prognostic model was developed using Cox proportional hazards analysis and validated internally and externally. Results The final dataset included 722 subjects (50 years (40–61); males 422 (58%)). During a f...

Main funding source(s): Goethe University Hospital Introduction Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) with Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) is the standard imaging method for the measurement of the scar area in ischemic heart disease, a major determinant of adverse outcome. T1 mapping techniques have become increasingly applied in everyday clinical practice. Agreement in area quantification between T1 mapping and LGE for the scar extent has not been systematically assessed. Purpose This study aims to ascertain concordance between the area determined by native and post contrast T1 mapping against LGE to determine scar area in patients with a prior myocardial infarction. It also examines intra and inter-observer reproducibility for these two methods. Methods Subendocardial scar was evaluated in 132 patients with ischemic heart disease using LGE, native and post contrast T1 mapping in 3 short axis slices. Native and pos...
