Why the study?
Does assessment of midwall fibrosis with LGE-CMR imaging predict mortality and sudden cardiac death in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy?
Does assessment of midwall fibrosis with LGE-CMR imaging predict mortality and sudden cardiac death in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy?
LGE-CMR imaging of midwall fibrosis provides independent prognostic value beyond LVEF for mortality and sudden cardiac death in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
