Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is increasingly recognized as a heterogenous disease with distinct phenotypes on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. While mid-wall striae (MWS) fibrosis is a widely recognized phenotypic risk marker, other fibrosis patterns are prevalent but poorly defined. Right ventricular (RV) insertion (RVI) site fibrosis is commonly...
