LGE is a highly sensitive predictor of ADT and cardiac death in NICM patients implanted with a defibrillator for primary prevention. However, due to moderate specificity, derivation of a cutoff with adequate predictive values and probably a multifactorial approach are needed to improve discrimination of patients who will not benefit from ICDs.
