Does the presence of myocardial scar detected by LGE predict significant cardiac events in patients with known or suspected CAD and normal wall motion?

LGE was detected in 9.1% of patients with suspected or known CAD and normal wall motion. LGE was the strongest predictor of significant cardiac events.
