Visual description of study design and main results. BBB, bundle branch block; ECG, electrocardiogram; MVA, major ventricular arrhythmia; SCD, sudden cardiac death. Abstract Aims Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a highly variable presentation and disease course. Current stratification strategies are complex and require multimodality evaluation.

Deep phenotyping of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction through multi‐omics integration
Deep phenotyping of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) through multi‐omics integration. AI, artificial intelligence. Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the predominant form of heart failure and a leading cause of global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Due to its heterogeneous nature, HFpEF
