Background MRI-derived arrhythmogenic substrate, including late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV), is indicative of sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The relative prognostic value of LGE and ECV remains unclear. Purpose To evaluate the performance of LGE and T1 mapping in predicting SCD in patients with DCM and to explore clinical implementation.

Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition, typically benign, but in a small subset of patients, it may lead to life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). This arrhythmogenic MVP phenotype is often associated with bileaflet prolapse, mitral annular disjunction (MAD), and myocardial fibrosis identified via late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac MRI.
Case Summary: Our patient is a 49-year-old man presented with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and near-syncope.

Purpose: Identifying factors associated with left ventricular (LV) remodeling is important for risk stratification of patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS). The aim of this preliminary study was to explore aortic hemodynamics in these patients and assess their relationships with LV remodeling using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Method: Data from 17 patients with moderate AS involving the tricuspid aortic valves and normal LV ejection fraction (EF > 55%) were analyzed.

Objectives: To assess the left ventricular remodeling index (LVRI) for predicting ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 35%.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, consecutive DCM patients with LVEF < 35% (n = 271) who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were followed up. The study endpoint was VTA, including sudden cardiac death and major ventricular arrhythmias.

Electrocardiography (ECG), though non-specific, is widely applied as a valuable tool in the diagnostic work-up of acute myocarditis. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a key non-invasive tool. This study assessed the association of ECG findings (at baseline), echocardiographic parameters, circulating biomarkers, and CMR imaging features (myocardial edema and late gadolinium enhancement-LGE) in patients with acute myocarditis.
