A Bi-Center Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Prognosis Study Focusing on Dobutamine Wall Motion and Late Gadolinium Enhancement in 3,138 Consecutive Patients

To the Editor: In the present study we sought to investigate the predictive value of resting and inducible wall motion abnormalities (WMA) and of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for hard cardiac outcomes and for revascularization procedures in 3,138 patients undergoing dobutamine cardiac magnetic...

Zusammenfassung:To the Editor: In the present study we sought to investigate the predictive value of resting and inducible wall motion abnormalities (WMA) and of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for hard cardiac outcomes and for revascularization procedures in 3,138 patients undergoing dobutamine cardiac magnetic resonance (DCMR) in 2 tertiary centers (University Hospital Heidelberg; and German Heart Institute, Berlin) and during a long-term follow-up. Other events included clinically indicated revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Because the results of the magnetic resonance examination might have triggered revascularization procedures, patients with "early" revascularization procedures within 3 months after DCMR were censored.
