Introduction: Cardiac dysfunction closely correlates with liver congestion and effect on liver relaxation time. Liver relaxometry could provide potential prognostic improvement for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Hypothesis: Liver relaxometry might have prognostic significance for DCM patients. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 433 patients diagnosed with DCM. Cardiac and hepatic T1, T2, and extracellular volume (ECV) were measured on the mid-ventricular mappings. The primary endpoint was defined as heart failure death, sudden cardiac death, and heart transplantation. Results: DCM patients who reached primary endpoint showed significantly increased liver native T1 (770.5±103.2ms versus 813.8±137.0ms, p=0.014) and ECV values (30.9±6.8% versus 34.3±10.7%, p=0.009) and decreased liver T2 value (35.8±5.5 versus 34.1±6.2ms, p=0.038). Right ventricular ejection fraction correlated moderately but significantly with liver native T1 (r =-0.293) and ECV (r=-0.245) (both p<0.001). During the follow-up period (median duration 3.9 years) 97 patients reached the primary endpoint. In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, DCM patients with elevated liver native T1 or ECV had higher risk of reaching the primary endpoint (cutoff value: 854.9ms, p=0.001 and cutoff value: 34.5%, p<0.001, respectively). Cox analysis indicated that liver ECV was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio:1.042, p<0.001) and showed incremental prognostic value to age, sex, NYHA class III-IV, and LVEF. Conclusions: Liver native T1 and ECV correlates with cardiac magnetic resonance parameters. Furthermore, Liver ECV provides incremental prognostic value in DCM patients.
