There is an unmet need for better risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in the era of primary prevention ICD therapy. Scar burden on LGE-CMR imaging may be a risk marker for ventricular arrhythmia post-myocardial infarction (MI).

Patients with Brugada syndrome who are asymptomatic and have no ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation inducibility by programmed electrical stimulation are at extremely low risk of experiencing late life-threatening arrhythmias. Methods Patients with BrS ( n  = 523; mean age, 51 ± 13 years; male, n  = 497) were enrolled.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the most important causes of mortality in the world. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major risk factor for SCD associated with significant pro-arrhythmic structural and electrophysiological ventricular remodelling.
