Abstract

Abstract Background The role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in guiding coronary revascularisation based on myocardial viability remains debated, particularly after the REVIVED trial. Our group has recently introduced the concept of "late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) granularity", incorporating LGE extent and location to refine myocardial characterization. OBJECTIVE To assess whether CMR-guided coronary revascularisation, based on the LGE granularity, predicts mortality in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF
