Abstract
Patients who present with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and enhancement on late gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR), are at high risk of sudden cardiac death. Further risk stratification of these patients based on LGE-CMR may be improved through better understanding of fibrosis micro-structure. Our aim is to examine variations in fibrosis micro-structure based on LGE imaging, and quantify the effect on reentry in-ducibility. 2D Computational models were created from a single short axis LGE-CMR image, with variations in fibrosis type (interstitial, replacement) and density. For each fibrosis-type density combination 10 different models were created, each representing a separate random realization. In total 200 models were tested. Reentry inducibility showed a dependence on fibrosis type and density as well as on the specific random realization of the type-density combination.
