ESC sudden ‐death risk model in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Incremental value of quantitative contrast‐enhanced CMR in intermediate‐risk patients

Conclusions
LGE extension is concordant with the novel SCD‐risk model defining low‐ and high‐risk groups; it may provide additional information, allowing better discrimination to support implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator decision. LGE quantification holds promise for SCD stratification in HCM.
