Gray-zone late gadolinium enhancement greatly enriches the prediction of ventricular arrhythmia; a cardiovascular MRI study

Patients who have a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and inducible VT during electrophysiologic study (EPS) are at risk of sudden death and may benefit from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) as do patients with low LVEF.
