Abstract
Background Late Gadolinium enhancement represents a widely employed method for detecting myocardial scarring e.g. after myocardial infarction or for myocardial Inflammation. A frequent finding is slight basal septal enhancement as well as intramyocardial enhancement, mostly referred as myocardial fibrosis. Less is known about the impact on myocardial conduction and a possible correlation to ECG findings such as atrioventricular node conduction delay and bundle branch blockations.

Less is known about the impact on myocardial conduction and a possible correlation to ECG findings such as atrioventricular node conduction delay and bundle branch blockations
For 81 consecutive patients referred for magnetic resonance cardiac (MRI) including a late gadolinium enhancement study scans were anonymized and correlated to an ECG performed within one week before or after the MRI
