Assessment of myocardial deformation with cardiac magnetic resonance strain imaging improves risk stratification in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Structured PICO

Does assessment of LV longitudinal strain with CMR improve risk stratification for survival in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?

Population

Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)

Intervention

Assessment of myocardial deformation with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) strain imaging (LV longitudinal strain)

Comparator

Risk stratification using clinical parameters, biomarkers, and standard CMR alone

Outcome

Survivalhard clinical

CMR-derived LV longitudinal strain provides incremental prognostic value for survival in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy beyond standard clinical and imaging parameters.

Abstract

LV longitudinal strain assessed with CMR is an independent predictor of survival in DCM and offers incremental information for risk stratification beyond clinical parameters, biomarker, and standard CMR.
