Excerpt
It has not been well evaluated whether late gadolinium enhanced (LGE)-MRI can provide prognostic information in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, especially in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Further, long-term follow-up data after MRI and CABG surgery are not available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of myocardial viability assessment by LGE-MRI on prognosis in patients who underwent CABG surgery. …
