Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is myocardial scar characteristics based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmia in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy?
Answer: A relatively large peri-infarction mass is associated with sustained VT and/or appropriate ICD therapy, whereas age and lower LVEF are associated with mortality. CMR based tissue characterization could aid in the prediction of specific outcome measures and in clinical decision making.
Output (English): yes
