Diagnostic or prognostic study
Three-dimensional cardiac magnetic resonance allows the identification of slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses in tetralogy of Fallot
- Diagnostic accuracy study
- derivation and validation cohorts
Authors' conclusion
3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance can identify SCAI with excellent accuracy and may refine non-invasive risk stratification and patient selection for invasive EAM in tetralogy of Fallot.
Study context
- Population
- Consecutive patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot who underwent right ventricular electroanatomical mapping (RV-EAM) and 3D-LGE-CMRderivation 48
- Comparison
- 3D-LGE-CMR vs Risk scores
- Outcome
- Diagnostic performance of 3D-LGE-CMR to non-invasively identify slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses (SCAI)
Performance
As reported in the abstract
Identification of SCAI or blocked anatomical isthmus
| Test or model | Sensitivity (derivation) | Specificity (derivation) | Sensitivity (validation) | Specificity (validation) | AUC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3D-LGE-CMR | 100% | 90% | 95% | 91% | |
| Risk scores | ≤ .68 |
