Collagen content, but not the ratios of collagen type III/I mRNAs, differs among hypertensive, alcoholic, and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2008
Cardiac interstitial fibrosis may contribute to ventricular dysfunction and the prognosis of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The objective of the present study was to determine if total myocardial collagen content and collagen type III/I (III/I ...

Natural genetic variation of the cardiac transcriptome in non-diseased donors and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Genome Biology, 2017
Background Genetic variation is an important determinant of RNA transcription and splicing, which in turn contributes to variation in human traits, including cardiovascular diseases. Results Here we report the first in-depth survey of heart transcriptome

Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Hypocalcemia-Induced Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Pediatric Population

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2021
Background Hypocalcemia is a rare reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in pediatric population. Myocarditis is another more frequent cause of cardiomyopathy with overlapping presenting features.

Immunity in dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Heart and Vessels, 1985
Although several immunologic parameters have been found to be abnormal, their precise relationship to the cause of the disease remains unclear. It is believed that a virus initiating a bout of myocarditis may play a role in the perpetuation of the chronic phase, probably via immunologic mediation.

Dilated cardiomyopathy in thyrotoxicosis [PDF]

Heart, 1999
Heart failure is a rare manifestation of thyrotoxicosis in patients without heart disease.1-3 We report two cases of thyrotoxicosis and no previous heart disease presenting with severe heart failure. Successful treatment of the thyrotoxicosis resulted in progressive improvement of cardiac function.
