There is insufficient evidence to implant a combined cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device with defibrillation capabilities (CRT-D) in all CRT candidates. The aim of the study was to assess myocardial scar size and its heterogeneity as predictors of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in CRT candidates.
