Key result
In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, the late gadolinium enhancement rate correlated significantly with both cardiac magnetic resonance ejection fraction (R2 = 0.23, P<0.001) and deceleration time (R2 = 0.35, P<0.001).
Population
17 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy according to 1996 WHO criteria, NYHA class II-III, mean age 52±4…

LGE extent was associated with LV dysfunction in dilated cardiomyopathy; leaves open whether fibrosis imaging refines risk stratification.

In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, the extent of myocardial fibrosis assessed by late gadolinium enhancement MRI correlates significantly with both left ventricular systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction.
Nanjo et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Dilated cardiomyopathy (n=17). Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on MRI was evaluated on Correlation between LGE rate (%) and cardiac magnetic resonance ejection fraction (CMREF) or deceleration time (DT) (R2 = 0.23 (CMREF) and R2 = 0.35 (DT), p=<0.001). In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, the late gadolinium enhancement rate correlated significantly with both cardiac magnetic resonance ejection fraction (R2 = 0.23, P<0.001) and deceleration time (R2 = 0.35, P<0.001).
