European Heart Journal, 1984
On account of the rapidly progressive nature of the disease, the high incidence of systemic embolism and arrhythmias, and the risk of sudden death, dilated cardiomyopathy is inconsistent with aircrew duties. In the small proportion of subjects who apparently make a satisfactory recovery , re-licensing may be considered once there is no requirement for ...

Anaphylatoxins in dilated cardiomyopathy
Journal of Internal Medicine, 1993Abstract. Objects. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible relationship between activation of complement system and thromboembolic complications in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP).Methods. The plasma C3a and C5a concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay measurement (Amersham International, UK) in 23 patients with DCMP, 9 with ...

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001
The management of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) heart failure starts with the determination of the underlying diagnosis, definition of the hemodynamic character (eg, systolic, diastolic, valvular, right- and left-sided heart dysfunction), recognition of complicating factors (eg, atrial fibrillation, renal dysfunction), and consideration ...

MYOCARDITIS AND DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY
Annual Review of Medicine, 1987The recent developments in the study of myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy are reviewed here, with the primary emphasis on the issue of myocarditis as a precursor to dilated cardiomyopathy. Advances in immunologic approaches have expanded our knowledge of the course of myocarditis, experimentally as well as clinically.

Genetics of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Heart Failure Clinics, 2010Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a myocardial disorder defined by ventricular chamber enlargement and systolic dysfunction. DCM can result in progressive heart failure, arrhythmias, thromboembolism, and premature death, and contributes significantly to health care costs. In many cases, DCM results from acquired factors that affect cardiomyocyte function

Familial dilated cardiomyopathy
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1988AbstractIdiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is generally considered a sporadic, nongenetic disorder, and reports of familial cases are often regarded as rare occurrences. Results of the present investigation of 6 families with this disorder suggest that familial forms of dilated cardiomyopathy occur more frequently than previously suspected. The familial

Dilated cardiomyopathy: a review
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2008Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cardiac diagnosis that may result as a consequence of a variety of pathologies. The differential diagnosis remains quite broad since many pathologies can present as DCM, and as a result the approach to diagnosis may, at times, be quite difficult.

Genetics in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Biomarkers in Medicine, 2013Discoveries made during the last 20 years have revealed a genetic origin in many cases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Currently, over 40 genes have been associated with the disease. Mutations in DCM-causing genes induce the condition through a variety of different pathological pathways with complex and not completely understood mechanisms. Genes that

Inflammation in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Herz, 2004Inflammation is an important component in the pathogenesis of many common cardiovascular diseases. In most cases, the role of inflammation is a natural response to injury, and an important mechanism for healing and tissue repair. However, the inflammatory response can be either inadequate or overwhelming, leading to direct injury or severe host disease.
