In-progress Studies of CMR for SCD Risk Stratification

Study title Number of patients and sites Patient cohort Study Design CMR metrics Follow-up
HCMR72
  • n=2750

  • 44 international sites

  • Established or new HCM diagnosis

  • 18–65 years old

  • Prospective observational registry

  • LV and RV volumes and function

  • LV and RV mass

  • Hypertrophy

  • LGE

  • T1 for diffuse fibrosis

5 years for composite endpoint:
  • cardiac death

  • aborted SCD

  • need for heart transplant

PROTECT-ICD Trial73
  • n=1058, 400 with CMR

  • 25–30 international sites

  • 2–40 days after first or repeat acute MI with LVEF ≤ 40%

  • RCT with randomization to electrophysiology study-guided ICD

  • Secondary aim to relate CMR with electrophysiology study results and outcomes

  • LV size

  • LV function

  • Myocardial edema

  • Infarct size

  • Peri-infarct injury

  • T1 times and ECV

2 years for combined endpoint of
  • Non-fatal ventricular arrhythmia

  • SCD

CMR-GUIDE74
  • n=949

  • 23 sites in Australia and Europe

  • LVEF 36–50% due to coronary artery disease or NICM

  • RCT with randomization to ICD or ILR in those with scar by CMR-LGE

  • LV volumes and function

  • LV mass

  • T1 mapping

  • Infarct size

3 years for composite of
  • SCD

  • Ventricular arrhythmia

PROSe-ICD Extension www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00733590
  • n=600

  • 3 US sites

  • ICM or NICM undergoing first ICD pulse generator change

  • Prospective observational registry

  • LV and RV volumes and function

  • LV mass

  • Extent of scar and scar heterogeneity

5 years for appropriate ICD firing or SCD
