Patients with NDLVC-REF have a similar incidence of cardiac events compared to those with DCM, highlighting the need for equivalent follow-up and regular LV function assessment.
There was no significant difference in the incidence of cardiac events between NDLVC-REF and DCM. Among NDLVC-REF patients, 18% of patients who showed LV dilatation after diagnosis had poor outcomes. Therefore, both NDLVC-REF and DCM patients may require equivalent attention to follow-up and regular assessment of LV function.
Eda et al. (2024) studied this question.
