Description of intervention(s) / exposure
6-minute walk test, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, NYHA classification, Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, Echocardiogram and CMR will all be performed at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. To complete all these investigations would take approximately 2 hours, at each time point. We will examine the relationship between these parameters and response to conventional heart failure therapy.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 262068 0
The primary aim of the project is to measure the prognostic significance of myocardial fibrosis in new presentation idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Timepoint [1] 262068 0
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary outcome [1] 273086 0
Determine the prevalence, severity and prognostic significance of inter- and intra-left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in new presentation DCM using advanced echocardiography techniques.
Timepoint [1] 273086 0
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary outcome [2] 273087 0
Assess the utility of serum biomarkers of myocardial fibrosis, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMPs), in the prediction of prognosis in new presentation DCM.
Timepoint [2] 273087 0
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months

of gadolinium, New York Heart Association class IV symptoms (i.e. dyspnoea at rest), and unstable
ischaemic heart disease will be exclusion criteria from cardiopulmonary exercise testing
