CMR-modeled PCWP provides independent prognostic value providing further risk differentiation among patients traditionally classified as low-risk.
Study context
- Population
- Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) between December 2008 and December 2017median follow-up 3.6 years
- Participants
