| Description | Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most common multifactorial cardiomyopathies that manifests mostly as heart failure with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and/or sudden cardiac death.1 At the time of manifestation and establishing the diagnosis of DCM, there is often severe contractile dysfunction with remodeling of both ventricles, which is preceded by a long period of asymptomatic silent disease progression with the development of myocardial fibrosis.2Detailed characterization of this process plays a key role in the prognostic stratification of DCM patients and in improving clinical therapy. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become essential for evaluating patients affected or at risk of developing cardiomyo-pathies.2 CMR not only provides precise data on cardiac volumes, wall thickness, mass, and systolic function, but it also provides a non-invasive characterization of myocardial tissue, thus helping the early diagnosis and the precise phenotyping of the different cardiomyopathies, which is essential for early and individualized treatment of patients.2 The purpose of this article is to highlight the utility of CMR in the management of idiopathic DCM and provide an overview of the clinical applicability of standard and emerging CMR techniques. |
