STICH3C Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Observational Study (STICOS)
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Summary
STICOS will test the hypothesis that residual jeopardized myocardium, late gadolinium enhancement, and non-ischemic substrate after revascularization is associated with postoperative adverse cardiovascular events such as heart failure , readmission, or death. This study will look at whether certain heart tissue abnormalities seen on MRI scans can help predict serious health problems after heart procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
Description
iLVSD (ischemic left ventricular dysfunction) is a leading cause of heart failure (HF) and death. It is widely treated via coronary revascularization despite limited understanding of determinants of revascularization response. "Viability" imaging (to differentiate infarcted from salvageable myocardium) has been widely touted as an effective means to predict revascularization response. However prior multicenter trials have derived negative conclusions using heterogenous data with respect to both image modality and analysis. Data by our investigators and others indicate that infarct transmural…
