There is a high prevalence of LV fibrosis replacement in adults with Ebstein anomaly, characterized by specific CMR and histological patterns. Furthermore, LV-LGE fibrosis is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease mortality, which could be integrated into risk assessment in clinical management.
