Cardiovascular magnetic resonance late gadolinium enhancement risk score for mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: The HCM-LGE risk score

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a risk score based on late gadolinium enhancement for predicting mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients.
• Developed a scoring system utilizing magnetic resonance imaging findings
• Analyzed late gadolinium enhancement patterns
• Assessed clinical outcomes over follow-up periods
• Higher LGE scores correlate with increased mortality risk
• Patients with extensive LGE showed significantly worse outcomes
• The risk score effectively stratified patients based on mortality risk
