We estimated the cumulative incidence and predictors of normalization.<h4>Results</h4>Among 868 children who met the inclusion criteria, 741 (85%) had both echocardiograms. At 2 years, 22% had recovered normal LV function and size; 51% had died or undergone heart transplantation (median, 3.2 months), and 27% had persistently abnormal echocardiograms. Younger age (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88 to 0.97) and lower LVEDD z-score (HR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.70 to 0.87) independently predicted normalization. Nine children (9%) with normal LV function and size within 2 years of diagnosis later underwent heart transplantation or died.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Despite marked LV dilation and depressed function initially, children with idiopathic DCM can recover normal LV size and function, particularly those younger and with less LV dilation at diagnosis. Investigations related to predictors of recovery, such as genetic associations, serum markers, and the impact of medical therapy or ventricular unloading with assist devices are important next steps. Longer follow-up after normalization is warranted as cardiac failure can recur.
