Kaplan–Meier survival curves for subgroups of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The rate of events was significantly higher in those with impaired LAεe, irrespective of LGE presence or LVEF (all log-rank P < 0.001). However, LVEF did not affect survival probability in patients with preserved or impaired LAεe (log-rank P = 0.785, 0.133)
