Abstract :
Non ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) refers to varied myocardial conditions that are featured by a decline in left ventricular (LV) systolic function in the absence of considerable coronary artery disease. Late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) cardiac MRI is known as a non invasive method that is used to establish the principal reason of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The existence of LGE on CMR considerably deteriorates the prognosis for unfavourable cardiovascular events in patients suffering with DCM, and the absence refers to left ventricular reverse remodelling. Thus the present review was done to assess the role of Late gadolinium enhancement in Non ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
