Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows comprehensive myocardial tissue characterisation, revealing areas of myocardial inflammation or fibrosis that may predispose to ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). With this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of structural heart disease (SHD) and decipher the prognostic implications of CMR in selected patients presenting with significant VAs.

Big endothelin-1 (ET-1), the precursor of endothelial-vasoconstrictive ET-1, is closely related to the concentration of bioactive ET-1. Association between big ET-1 and prognosis of AL-CA has not yet been documented.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complex pulmonary vascular disorder that involves major vessel and microvascular disease components. Fibrotic obstructions resulting from unresolved pulmonary emboli constitute the major vessel disease component. Major vessel disease is subject to mechanical treatments such as surgical pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA).
