Progressive congestive heart failure due to common iliac arteriovenous fistula: a case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with worse clinical outcome and the extent of LGE predicts the increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Limited data exist regarding the distribution of LGE. We attempted to verify whether the presence o...
