In this issue of the Journal, Escobar-Lopez et al (1), led by the Garcia-Pavia group in Madrid, address a question of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) genetics: Do DCM patients have different outcomes based on their disease genes? This is an important and unresolved clinical question. From 20 Spanish hospitals, clinical data were retrospectively collected from 1,005 DCM patients (probands) aged> 15 years who had undergone DCM gene sequencing between 2015 and 2020. The study’s primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which were defined as end-stage heart failure, major ventricular arrhythmias, or stroke. Secondary outcomes included specific aspects of these plus left ventricular reverse remodeling, which was defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improvement> 50% or an increase of $10 LVEF points. The median follow-up was 4 years. Genetic analysis was based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics 2015 criteria.
