Ring‐like late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a special LGE pattern in patients with chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy (infl‐CMP), which is associated with cardiac dysfunction and ventricular remodelling and attributed to viral infection followed by bacterial and parasitic infections. Data on the combination of CMR imaging and clinical parameters that can add long‐term prognostic value in patients with infl‐CMP are still rare. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CMR in risk stratification in this kind of patients.
