ConclusionsLeft bundle branch block-induced cardiomyopathy emerges as a distinct pathological entity, promptly identifiable in a minority but not negligible proportion of patients with newly diagnosed DCM and LBBB, using a series of diagnostic criteria including CMR and genetic testing. Further studies are needed to better elucidate the clinical course of LBBB-ICMP.
