Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is infarct characterization and quantification by delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging a powerful independent and incremental predictor of mortality in patients with advanced ischemic cardiomyopathy?
Answer: In advanced ischemic cardiomyopathy, PI% is a powerful independent and incremental predictor of all-cause mortality. Infarct heterogeneity offers substantial further risk stratification when compared with quantification of total myocardial scar % alone even after adjusting for clinical risk factors, end-systolic volume index, mitral regurgitation, incomplete revascularization, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation.
Output (English): yes
