Abstract 14760: Myocardial Scarring by Magnetic Resonance Predicts Sudden Cardiac Death in Pediatric Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Introduction: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has been shown to be an independent predictor of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The clinical significance of LGE in pediatric HCM patients is unknown. Hypothesis: LGE improves the SCD risk prediction in children with HCM. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the CMR images and reviewed the outcomes pediatric...
