Study Population

Subjects with New onset NICM that are scheduled for a biopsy as part of their clinical care

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • New onset NICM as defined by the presence of left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF \< 45% by echocardiography and/or MRI), with symptoms or signs of HF (dyspnea, orthopnea, edema, ascites, rales or pulmonary vascular congestion on chest radiography) of less than 3 months in duration.
  • Persistent recent onset NICM as defined by the LVEF and signs/symptoms in #2 above with persistence of the LVEF \< 45% despite evidence-based treatment for HF with reduced LVEF for 2 to 6 months.
  • Willingness to provide informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior diagnosis of HF or documented LVEF \< 45% more than 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Coronary artery disease, either by history or as determined by coronary angiography demonstrating hemodynamically significant lesions deemed sufficient to potentially contribute to left ventricular dysfunction.
  • Ongoing hemodynamically significant arrhythmias deemed to be an independent cause of HF decompensation
  • Constrictive pericarditis or tamponade
  • Complex congenital heart disease
  • History of malignancy with treatment by anthracyclines or other known cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic agents
  • More than mild aortic or mitral stenosis
  • Intrinsic (prolapse, rheumatic) valve disease with severe mitral, aortic or tricuspid regurgitation
  • Primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Untreated thyroid disease
  • Severe nutritional deficiency
  • Severe uncontrolled hypertension
  • Sepsis, active infection (excluding cystitis) or other comorbidity driving the HF decompensation
  • History of cardiac transplantation
  • Acute or chronic severe liver disease as evidenced by any of the following: encephalopathy, variceal bleeding, INR \> 1.5 in the absence of anticoagulation treatment
  • +1 more criteria
