CMR-Derived Global Longitudinal Strain and Left Ventricular Torsion as Prognostic Markers in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
CMR-derived GLS and LV torsion are strong, independent predictors of adverse outcomes in DCM. Their integration into routine imaging protocols enhances risk stratification beyond conventional metrics such as LVEF and LGE. These findings support the use of myocardial deformation analysis in the comprehensive evaluation of patients with DCM.
