Mortality data demonstrated increased mortality in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction <35%, the presence of wall motion abnormalities, stress perfusion defects, and infarct LGE, compared to those without these markers. There were 456,678 patient-years of all-cause mortality follow-up, with a median follow-up time of 3.6 years.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The vision of the SCMR Registry is to promote evidence-based utilization of CMR through a collaborative effort by providing a web mechanism for centers to securely upload de-identified data and images for research, education, and quality control. The Registry quantifies changing practice over time and supports large-scale real-world multicenter observational studies of prognostic utility.</p>","PeriodicalId":15221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11314894/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141544875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
