Abstract
Contractile injury in DCM is heterogeneous, with basilar-septal regions injured more than lateral regions. The targeting of early-injury sentinel regions for heightened surveillance with high-resolution metrics of microregional contractile function may accurately predict recovery on medical therapy. A two standard deviation Z-score threshold may predict contractile recovery.
