Abstract
Learning objectives: =To understand the use of cardiovascular imaging for diagnosis, evaluation of prognosis and for supporting treatment decisions and monitoring therapy in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy by providing morphologic, functional and etiologic information, including refined assessment of ventricular function. =To provide to the clinical cardiologist the information on what to expect from each imaging modality and how to work together with the cardiovascular imaging expert to fully explore the potential of complementary imaging techniques. = To provide a look into the future role of new imaging modalities such as molecular imaging.
