Why is it important?
Assessment of myocardial detection of pre-clinical DCM could significantly reduce morbidity and mortality by allowing early instigation of cardio protective therapy.
Perspectives
In children, DCM is a diverse disorder with outcomes that depend largely on cause, age, and heart failure status at presentation. Most children do not have a known cause of DCM, which limits the potential for disease-specific therapies.
