Background Studies over the past 15 years have demonstrated that a considerable number of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who died from sudden cardiac death (SCD) had a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or higher. Purpose To identify clinical and cardiac MRI risk factors for adverse events in patients with DCM and LVEF of 35% or higher. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, consecutive patients with DCM and LVEF of 35% or higher who underwent cardiac MRI between January 2010 and December 2017 were included. The primary end point was a composite of SCD or aborted SCD. The secondary end point was a composite of all-cause mortality, heart transplant, or hospitalization for heart failure. The risk factors for the primary and secondary end points were identified with multivariable Cox analysis. Results A total of 466 patients with DCM and LVEF of 35% or higher (mean age, 44 years ± 14 [SD]; 358 men) were included. During a mean follow-up of 79 months ± 30 (SD) (range, 7-143 months), 40 patients reached the primary end point and 61 reached the secondary end point. In the adjusted analysis, age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.03 per year [95% CI: 1.00, 1.05]; P = .04), family history of SCD (HR, 3.4 [95% CI: 1.3, 8.8]; P = .01), New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV (HR vs NYHA class I or II, 2.1 [95% CI: 1.1, 3.9]; P = .02), and myocardial scar at late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI greater than or equal to 7.1% of the LV mass (HR, 4.4 [95% CI: 2.4, 8.3]; P < .001) were associated with SCD or aborted SCD. For the composite secondary end point, LGE greater than or equal to 7.1% of the LV mass (HR vs LGE <7.1%, 2.0 [95% CI: 1.2, 3.4]; P = .01), left atrial maximum volume index, and reduced global longitudinal strain were independent predictors. Conclusion For patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction of 35% or higher, cardiac MRI-defined myocardial scar greater than or equal to 7.1% of the LV mass was associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) or aborted SCD. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
