Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of non-ischaemic heart failure, conferring high morbidity and mortality, including sudden cardiac death due to systolic dysfunction or arrhythmic sudden death. Within the DCM cohort exists a group of patients with familial disease. In this article we review the pathophysiology and cardiac imaging findings of familial DCM, with specific attention to known disease subtypes. The role of advanced cardiac imaging cardiovascular magnetic resonance is still accumulating, and there remains much to be elucidated. We discuss its potential clinical roles as currently known, with respect to diagnostic utility and risk stratification. Advances in such risk stratification may help target pharmacological and device therapies to those at highest risk.
