[Abstract] Objective To qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the changes in myocardial motion and tissue characterizations in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) patients with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) by cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).Materials and Methods Seventy-three NIDCM patients were retrospectively collected and followed up. The patients were divided into VA+ group (34 cases) and VA- group (39 cases) according to the 24-hour dynamic ECG. The left ventricular function parameters, global strain parameters and LGE characteristics were compared between the two groups. The risk factors of VA were estimated by performing multivariate logistic regression analysis. Survival estimates of the two groups were calculated and determined by Kaplan-Meier curves with the log-rank test.Results The global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) in the VA+ group was significantly lower than that in VA- group (P=0.004). The subepicardial LGE pattern was more likely to appear in VA+ group (P=0.001). The outcome was poorer in the VA+ group than in the VA- group (P=0.036). Moreover, the subepicardial pattern of the LGE was a risk factor of VA.Conclusions Cardiac magnetic resonance can accurately assess the changes of heart structure, function, and myocardial tissue in NIDCM patients with VA, and provide forceful imaging basis for the poor outcome of NIDCM patients.
