AB  - Risk stratification of patients with structural heart disease remains 
      problematic. While patients with low ejection fractions have been shown to be at 
      significant risk for sudden cardiac death, a risk that can be decreased by ICD 
      implantation, the sensitivity and specificity of ejection fraction for predicting 
      sudden death are sub-optimal. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) 
      has been shown to carefully delineate the extent and morphology of myocardial 
      scar. Recent studies have suggested that the extent of myocardial scar and 
      potentially its heterogeneity can help risk stratify patient with coronary artery 
      disease. Ongoing clinical studies will help determine the utility of 
      incorporating CMRI into a risk prediction algorithm.
