Is the detection of late gadolinium enhancement sufficient for assessing fibrosis in cardiomyopathies?

In recent years Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has become a fundamental tool for evaluating patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). Indeed, CMR has revolutionized the diagnostic approach to different cardiomyopathies, not only providing detailed information about ventricular dimension and function but also allowing visualization and quantification of scarring using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) [1].
