The variable natural history of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Determining the prognosis of patients with heart failure is essential for patient management and clinical trial conduct. The relative value of traditional prognostic criteria remains unclear and the assessment of long-term prognosis for individual patients is problematic. OBJECTIVES To determine the ability of clinical, hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters to predict the lo...
متن کاملNatural History of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Children
To assess the natural history and potential risk factors in childhood dilated cardiomyopathy, we investigated 25 patients (ages 9.6 +/- 4.4 years) who presented after they were 2 years old. All patients had symptoms of congestive heart failure and reduced contractility with a dilated left ventricle at presentation. Two factors at presentation were significantly different between patients who di...
متن کاملPATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY CARDIOMYOPATHY Mildly dilated congestive cardiomyopathy
Five patients with only mildly dilated ventricles but other features typical of congestive cardiomyopathy underwent cardiac transplantation for class IV NYHA heart failure. The findings of clinical studies, cardiac catheterization, endomyocardial biopsy, and pathologic examination of the removed hearts in this group with mildly dilated congestive cardiomyopathy (MDCM) were compared with similar...
متن کاملIdiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in children; Natural history and predictors of prognosis
Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common type of heart muscle disease in children with idiopathic etiology in the majority of cases. Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is a severe illness which carries a high mortality rate in the pediatric population. In order to characterize IDCM evolution and identify prognostic predictors in our pediatric cardiology center in the western province of ...
متن کاملIdiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in the young: clinical profile and natural history.
The clinical profile and course of documented cases of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in children have been poorly characterized. Twenty-four patients (median age 2 years, range less than 1 month to 18 years) with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy were identified from Mayo Clinic records from 1973 to 1982. The most common presentation was congestive heart failure (92% of patients). Echocardi...
