Myocardial fibrosis evaluated on biopsy samples is a useful prognostic indicator for long-term survival in non-ischemic heart failure.

Abstract

Myocardial fibrosis evaluated on biopsy samples is a useful indicator for long-term survival, suggesting that it may be an important therapeutic target as well.
