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.
Assessment of midwall fibrosis with LGE-CMR imaging provided independent prognostic information beyond LVEF in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. The role of LGE-CMR in the risk stratification of dilated cardiomyopathy requires further investigation.
