This study used CMR to evaluate patients with IHD prior to ICD implantation and correlated CMR measurements to VA inducibility and spontaneous VA events during follow-up. The results demonstrated that the gray-zone measurement using MCLE may be more sensitive in predicting appropriate ICD therapy fo
