%normal LV myocardium exhibited incremental value for the identification of patients with subclinical LV-dysfunction and for the differentiation of clinical versus subclinical heart failure, surpassing the value of LVEF and MAPSE. All 3 parameters were equal for the identification of patients with refractory stage D heart failure (a–c). %normal RV myocardium exhibited incremental value for the identification of patients with subclinical LV-dysfunction and for the differentiation of clinical versus subclinical heart failure, surpassing the value of RVEF and TAPSE. RVEF exhibited the highest accuracy for the identification of patients with refractory heart failure (d–f)
