Prognostic value of left ventricular trabeculae fractal analysis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Background: The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) myocardial trabecular complexity on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of LV myocardial trabecular complexity using fractal analysis in patients with DCM.

Methods: Consecutive patients with DCM who underwent CMR between March 2017 and November 2021 at two hospitals were prospectively enrolled.
