Late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance combined with 123I- metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy strongly predicts long-term clinical outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is limited in its ability to detect diffuse interstitial fibrosis, which is commonly found in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). On the other hand, Washout rate (WR) by cardiac 123I- metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scint...
