This study aimed to investigate the value of summed motion score (SMS) in predicting cardiac death of DCM patients using gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eighty-one patients with DCM who underwent <jats:sup>99m<\/jats:sup>Tc-MIBI gated SPECT MPI were retrospectively enrolled and were divided into cardiac death and survivor groups. The functional parameters of left ventricle including SMS were measured using quantitative gated SPECT software. During the follow-up period of 44 (25, 54) months, 14 (17.28%) cardiac deaths were observed. Compared with the survivor group, SMS was significantly higher in the cardiac death group. Multivariate cox regression analysis showed that SMS was an independent predictor for cardiac death (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.02\u20131.77, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.034). SMS also provided incremental prognostic value over other variables in the multivariate model as determined by likelihood ratio global chi-squared test. In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the event-free survival rate was significantly lower in the high-SMS (HSMS) group than the low-SMS (LSMS) (log-rank <jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Furthermore, the area under curve (AUC) of SMS was larger than that of LVEF at the 12th month of follow-up (0.85 vs. 0.80, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.045).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>SMS is an independent predictor of cardiac death in DCM patients and provides incremental prognostic value.
