Does the presence and anteroseptal location of Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) on baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance predict adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with myocarditis?
Baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance showing LGE presence and anteroseptal location identifies myocarditis patients at increased risk for adverse cardiac outcomes.
LGE presence and anteroseptal location at baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance are important independent prognostic markers that herald an increased risk of adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with AM. Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/ Unique identifier: CRD42019146619.
