Quantitative assessment of myocardial scar heterogeneity using cardiovascular magnetic resonance texture analysis to risk stratify patients post-myocardial infarction

•Texture analysis indices are associated with increased incidence of arrhythmias. •Predictive texture features correspond biologically to more heterogenous scar. •Scar heterogeneity may aid risk-stratification after myocardial infarction. Aim To determine whether heterogeneity of cardiac scar, as assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) texture analysis, may provide insight into better risk stratification for patients with previous...
