DCM Mortality Score: Explanation and Clinical Context The DCM Mortality Score is a clinical risk prediction tool developed for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to estimate 1-year mortality risk. It integrates age, NYHA functional class, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and history of ventricular arrhythmia. Higher scores correspond to worse prognosis.
This tool helps clinicians stratify patients for closer monitoring, advanced therapy consideration, and timely intervention.
