Early Career & Professional Development - SCMR Registry "Hands-on" Session-How I Use It (Part 2)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses a research study on chronic aortic regurgitation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). The study found that myocardial scar, detected by late enhancement, was linked to higher mortality, whether scar was infarct-related or not. Traditional markers like ejection fraction and LV size were less predictive after adjustment. Importantly, patients with scar who underwent aortic valve replacement had better outcomes than those who did not. The talk highlights the value of the SCMR registry for large multicenter studies to better define risk and improve timing of intervention in AR.
