Summary
This study uses advanced CT scans to look for fat and scar tissue inside the heart. Researchers want to see if these findings can help predict who is at risk for dangerous heart rhythms. About 110 adults with heart disease who already have a defibrillator or need one will get a CT scan, and the results will be compared to standard MRI scans.
