Heart MRI model could predict deadly risks in DCM patients
NCT ID NCT07527715
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a tool that uses stress heart MRI and routine medical data to predict which patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (a weakened, enlarged heart) are at highest risk for serious problems like heart failure or sudden cardiac death. Researchers will follow 2,000 participants over time to see how well the model works. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and tailor their care more effectively.
