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 (
The purpose of this study was to evaluate diffuse myocardial fibrosis by measuring myocardial and blood T1values using contrast-enhanced Look-Locker cardiac MRI and comparing these values with left cardiac function in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We also sought to assess the relation between the di
