Why the study?
Does assessment of LV longitudinal strain with CMR improve risk stratification for survival in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
Does assessment of LV longitudinal strain with CMR improve risk stratification for survival in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
CMR-derived LV longitudinal strain provides incremental prognostic value for survival in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy beyond standard clinical and imaging parameters.
May aid DCM risk stratification beyond standard CMR; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
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.
