Cardiac Magnetic Resonance - PROgnostic HEart Scar for Sudden Cardiac Death Prediction StudY

Lead Sponsor:

Beijing Anzhen Hospital

Conditions:

Sudden Death, Cardiac

Myocardial Scarring

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-80 years

Brief Summary

The purpose of this observational study is to investigate whether myocardial scar characteristics assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can predict the risk of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac de...

Detailed Description

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a leading cause of mortality post-myocardial infarction (MI). Current risk stratification relying primarily on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤35%) for imp...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age between 18 and 80 years.
  • Completion of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging at Anzhen Hospital during the stable phase (≥1 month) following an acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Exclusion

  • Prior implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) before the index MI.
  • Pre-existing diagnosis of a primary arrhythmia syndrome (e.g., long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome) before the index MI.
  • Concurrent end-stage disease (e.g., advanced malignancy) directly resulting in an estimated life expectancy of less than one year.
  • History of established non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (e.g., dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive cardiomyopathy) before the index MI.
  • Significant concomitant valvular heart disease. Status post mechanical heart valve replacement.
  • Patients refuse to be followed up.
