Non ‐dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy vs. dilated cardiomyopathy: clinical background and outcomes

ConclusionsThere was no significant difference in the incidence of cardiac events between NDLVC –REF and DCM. Among NDLVC–REF patients, 18% of patients who showed LV dilatation after diagnosis had poor outcomes. Therefore, both NDLVC–REF and DCM patients may require equivalent attention to follow-up and regular assessment of LV function.
