May aid risk stratification in dilated cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Do cardiac magnetic resonance features predict all-cause MACE and mortality in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
In a South Asian cohort with dilated cardiomyopathy, CMR features including LVSV, LVEF, and pericardial effusion were predictive of MACE, while late gadolinium enhancement predicted mortality.
