Demonstrates cardiac MRI parameters predict death, transplantation, or ventricular assist device need in systemic right ventricle adults, highlighting utility in clinical risk stratification.
AIMS: Predicting risk in individuals with a systemic right ventricle (SRV) remains difficult. We assessed the value of cardiac MRI (CMR) for predicting death, heart transplantation (HT), or need for a ventricular assist device (VAD) in adults with D-transposition of the great arteries (DTGA) post Mustard/Senning and in adults with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) at two large academic centres. METHODS AND RESULTS: for survival analysis, which was significantly associated with survival in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac MRI parameters are associated with an increased risk of death, HT, or VAD in patients with an SRV and should be considered to facilitate risk stratification.
