Summary
This study uses advanced heart MRI scans to look for the earliest signs of dilated cardiomyopathy (a weakened, enlarged heart) in close relatives of people who have the condition. Researchers will scan 650 family members to see if certain genetic changes are linked to early heart tissue changes. The goal is to better understand how the disease develops and improve early detection.
