Myocardial Scar Characterization and Future Ventricular Arrhythmia in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

Myocardial Scar Characterization and Future Ventricular Arrhythmia in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy is associated with several deleterious effects, which can be reduced by antiarrhythmic drugs or catheter ablation. However, it is largely unknown which patients might benefit from these therapies. Therefore, this study aimed to investi...
