About this trial

CMR GUIDE DCM is a randomized controlled trial with a registry for non-randomized patients.

Patients enrolled will have non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) with mild to severe Left Ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction with replacement fibrosis identified on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR).

954 patients will be randomised from 50 sites across 4-6 countries worldwide to receive an implantable defibrillator (ICD) or implantable loop recorder (ILR).

Device and clinical follow-up will be performed at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months and at end of study.
