Receiver operating characteristic curves of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) volume, segmental wall motion abnormality (SWMA) score and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for prediction of events during follow-up, with corresponding area under curve 0.832 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.716 – 0.948), 0.769 (95% CI: 0.666 – 0.872) and 0.704 (95% CI: 0.565 – 0.844). In the patient cohort of suspected nonischemic cardiomyopathy with relatively high prevalence of LGE and SWMA (71% and 65% of patients) at baseline, the optimal cut-off values with the best combination of sensitivity and specificity were LGE volume of ≥ 17%, SWMA score of ≥ 5 and LVEF < 46%.
