✦ Synopsis
To determine whether the extent of myocardial fibrosis by late-gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR), and echocardiographic ventricular dyssynchrony can independently predict response to medical therapy in patients with newly-diagnosed idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
