    Left ventricular ring-like scar on CMR is linked to malignant arrhythmias in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy patients.

  • 2

    The study involved 115 patients, with a median age of 39 years, focusing on identifying risk factors for life-threatening arrhythmic events.

  • 3

    Survival free from life-threatening arrhythmic events was 60% during follow-up, improving to 84% at a median follow-up of 4.6 years.

  • 4

    Key risk factors for arrhythmic events included anterior Q waves, QRS width, and increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume index.

  • 5

    A normal ECG indicated a lower risk subgroup, while abnormal ECGs correlated with higher rates of malignant arrhythmias.
