Cost analysis of exercise cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in suspected dilated cardiomyopathy—a single-center experience
These findings indicate that ExCMR offers a physiologically informative approach for diagnosing DCM, with the potential to reduce overdiagnosis of cardiac dilatation in active, healthy adults. Although further research is necessary to assess long-term outcomes, ExCMR appears to be a cost-effective imaging modality for DCM diagnosis, warranting reconsideration of its perceived higher cost.
