CMR-derived assessment of LVEDVI category and LGE allowed for identification of arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy with acceptable discriminative performance. Probabilities for complete LVEF recovery for the combination of opposite LVEDVI/LGE negativity and enlarged LVEDVI/LGE positivity were 94% and 8%, respectively. The CMR-based prediction model of complete LVEF recovery can be used to perform upfront stratification in atrial tachyarrhythmia-related LVEF impairment.
