Abnormal Circadian Blood Pressure Profile as a Prognostic Marker in Patients with Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives: An abnormal circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, its significance in heart failure patients with nonischemic etiology is unknown.

Unusual association of ST-T abnormalities, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy with H₁N₁ influenza in pregnancy: two case reports and review of the literature [PDF]

, 2011
Introduction Myocarditis is rarely reported as an extra-pulmonary manifestation of influenza while pregnancy is a rare cause of cardiomyopathy. Pregnancy was identified as a major risk factor for increased mortality and morbidity due to H1N1 influenza in

Contemporary Outcome in Patients With Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2015
Outcome is better in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) than in ischemic heart failure (HF), but morbidity and mortality are nevertheless presumed to be substantial. Most data on the prognosis in IDC stem from research performed before
