AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the extent and 
      the location of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and ventricular tachyarrhythmia 
      or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 
      (HCM). METHODS: We enrolled 115 patients with HCM and LGE. The location of LGE 
      was divided into septal and nonseptal segments. Clinical backgrounds and LGE were 
      compared in patients between with and without the arrhythmia or consequent ICD 
      installation. RESULTS: There were significant differences in the number of risk 
      markers, left ventricular ejection fraction, extent of global LGE, and extent of 
      nonseptal LGE between the groups (P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that 
      the number of risk markers and extent of nonseptal LGE contributed to ventricular 
      tachyarrhythmia or ICD installation (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The nonseptal LGE is 
      related to ventricular tachyarrhythmia or ICD installation. We should be vigilant 
      for nonseptal LGE when applying LGE to risk stratification for HCM.
