CARDIAC MRI CHARACTERIZATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR NONCOMPACTION PROVIDES INDEPENDENT PROGNOSTIC INFORMATION IN PATIENTS WITH INCIDENT HEART FAILURE OR SUSPECTED CARDIOMYOPATHY

Methods We followed 43 consecutive patients, without coronary artery disease, 63% male, age 44 + 2 (mean + SE) for 27 + 2 mo. following identification of LVNC by cardiac MRI (ratio of NC to compacted [C] myocardium > 2.3 at end-diastole).
