Diagnostic usefulness and limitation of cardiac magnetic resonance for identifying myocardial damage in survivors of cardiac arrest in midtown

Figure 3 An 80-year-old man experiencing cardiac arrest at the railway station is diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A: Focal, non-ischemic late gadolinium enhancement is observed at the mid-inferior segment (arrow); B: Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and hypertrophied papillary muscle are shown. This patient has experienced non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and associated syncope 9 months after the installation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
