DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; ICD, implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator; LVEDD, left ventricular end‐diastolic dimension; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NA, not applicable; TTN, titin.
Measurements are based on the lowest measured ejection fraction and the largest end‐diastolic diameter.
Composition of chemotherapy, history of excess alcohol consumption, and severe mitral valve insufficiency.
LVEF is available from five carriers and six non‐carriers. In four carriers, left ventricular function is described as normal, of which one is described as >55%. In another carrier left ventricular function is described as moderate (45–55%). In the other 11 non‐carriers left ventricular function is described as normal.
LVEDD is missing from one carrier and available from 13 non‐carriers; in the other four non‐carriers, LVEDD is described as normal.
Holter monitoring only performed in three non‐carriers.
