    The study investigates the prevalence and prognosis of non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) in patients undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

  • 2

    The European Society of Cardiology recommends CMR as the primary diagnostic tool for assessing cardiomyopathies, including NDLVC and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

  • 3

    NDLVC is defined as non-ischemic late gadolinium enhancement or isolated global left ventricular hypokinesia without dilatation, distinguishing it from DCM.

  • 4

    The study aims to compare left ventricular global longitudinal strain, left atrial strain, and extracellular volume fraction between NDLVC, DCM, and control groups.

  • 5

    Limited evidence exists on the prognostic differences between NDLVC and DCM, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
