Genetics of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as dilation and/or reduced function of one or both ventricles and remains a common disease worldwide. An estimated 40% of cases of familial DCM have an identifiable genetic cause. Accordingly, there is a fast-growing interest in the field of molecular genetics as it pertains to DCM. Many gene mutations have been

Immune-inflammatory concept of the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy is common in dogs. This form of cardiomyopathy is the main cause of death due to heart disease in dogs. Death can occur suddenly in clinically normal animals as a result of the progression of congestive heart failure ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with dilated sinus of Valsalva: A case-control study
Background: We aimed to test the hypothesis that there is an association between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated aorta in a case-control, matched-design fashion. Methods: Of 65,843 studies done from November 2011 to December 2015, we found, after

Epigenetics in dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Characterized by enlarged ventricle and loss of systolic function, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has the highest morbidity among all the cardiomyopathies. Although it is well established that DCM is typically caused by mutations in a large number of genes, there is an emerging appreciation for the contribution of epigenetic alteration in the development

Dilated cardiomyopathy and aldosteronoma: a causal link?
The aim of this study is to reveal the causal relationship between dilated cardiomyopathy and aldosteronoma. A 44‐year‐old male dilated cardiomyopathy patient with aldosteronoma, who demonstrated a worse cardiac function after 1 year therapy with ...

Incidence rates of dilated cardiomyopathy in adult first-degree relatives versus matched controls
Background: The incidence rates and importance of traditional risk factors in dilated cardiomyopathy among first-degree relatives are unknown. Methods and Results: We identified all probands with dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 13,714, mean age at diagnosis ...
