These data suggest that LS is a useful index for assessing systemic volume status and predicting the severity of HF, and that the presence of liver congestion at discharge is associated with worse outcomes in patients with HF.

Combining GLS and LGE could be useful for risk stratification and prognostic assessment in patients with DCM.

DE-MRI fused with MRA was superior to DE-MRI for visualization of the RF lesion owing to the precise information on LA and PV anatomy provided by DE-MRI.

The absence of an LGE predicts a low potential risk of SCD and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia events in the near future. CMR may be a useful tool for selecting suitable patients for primary ICD implantations in NICM patients.

Non-ischemic HFrEF patients exhibited multidimensional differences in intestinal microbial communities compared with healthy subjects.
