OUTSMART HF: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Routine Versus Selective Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Patients with Non-Ischemic Heart Failure (IMAGE-HF 1B).

Conclusions: In patients with non-ischemic HF, Routine CMR does not yield more specific HF etiologies on clinical assessment. Patients with specific HF etiologies from imaging had worse outcomes whereas HF etiologies defined clinically did not. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov.
