We studied serial echocardiograms from presentation until the last follow-up echo. Results were compared with heart rate\u2013matched controls and between DCM subgroups based on an acute or insidious presentation. The association between S:D ratio and death or need for transplant was analyzed. All analyses were adjusted for repeated measures per patient. We studied 200 serial echocardiograms of 48 children with DCM (7.0\u00b16.0 years) and 25 controls. Adjusted for repeated measures through a compound symmetry covariance structure, the S:D ratio was higher in DCM patients (\u22120.425 [0.072];\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001) because of shortened diastole.
