Episode description

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study that evaluates the role of myocardial fibrosis in predicting sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The findings suggest that assessing fibrosis through advanced imaging techniques offers a more accurate risk stratification than the traditional reliance on left ventricular ejection fraction, ultimately refining treatment approaches for at-risk patients.
