    JACC: A new Spanish study provides the first stratification of the risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy among symptom-free genetic carriers

    The results, published in JACC, suggest that these factors could be used to predict the risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy and adapt strategies for patient care and disease detection in genetic carriers of the disease
