Does left atrial volume assessment by cardiovascular magnetic resonance predict transplant-free survival and heart failure outcomes in patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy?
Left atrial volume index assessed by CMR is an independent predictor of transplant-free survival and heart failure outcomes in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy, improving risk stratification.
LAVi is a powerful independent predictor of transplant-free survival and HF outcomes in DCM. Assessment of LAV improves risk stratification in DCM and should be incorporated into routine CMR examination.
