Authors' conclusion

The DERIVATE-ICM registry is a large multicenter registry showing the additional value of CMR to stratify the risk for MAACE in a large cohort of patients with ICM compared with standard of care.

Study context

Population
Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, chronic HF and TTE-LVEF <50%
Participants
861 patients
Exposure
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) vs TTE for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) indication
Outcome
Major adverse arrhythmic cardiac events (MAACE)
Follow-up
Median 1,054 days

Main finding

MAACE

Net reclassification improvement (NRI)
