Dilated cardiomyopathy: an update

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2004
Despite many advances in he diagnosis and treatment of DCM, it continues to be an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in large-breed dogs. In the coming years, it is hoped and anticipated tht further discoveries will be made in the areas of etiology, therapy, and assessment of prognosis, ultimately with a view to having a greater ...

Arrhythmias in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2015
Patients with dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM) face a significant burden of arrhythmias, including conduction defects such as atrioventricular block and interventricular delay in the form of left bundle branch block, resulting in altered electromechanical coupling that can exacerbate heart failure.

Inflammation in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Herz, 2004
Inflammation 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.

Immunohistochemistry in dilated cardiomyopathy

European Heart Journal, 1995
The aetiology of dilated cardiomyopathy is unknown by definition. Viral myocarditis is often viewed as an early stage in the progression of the disease leading to cardiomyopathy and heart failure in humans. The chronic inflammatory process is manifested histologically as a sparse, diffuse lymphocytic infiltration of the myocardium, classified as ...

Genetics of dilated cardiomyopathy

2000
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart muscle disorder characterized by cardiac dilatation and impaired systolic function. In an increasing number of all DCM cases a specific etiology can be identified and in the remaining patients DCM is termed idiopathic. There is a wide variation of the clinical presentation in DCM.

Immunosuppression for Dilated Cardiomyopathy

New England Journal of Medicine, 1989
The diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy is made when left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction, with normal wall thickness, occur in the absence of coronary artery, valvular, or pericardial disease.1 The right ventricle is also often involved.

Immunoadsorption in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

2006
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by progressive reduction in contractile function and by dilatation of the right and left ventricles. Abnormalities of the cellular and humoral immune system are present in patients with myocarditis and DCM. Several antibodies against cardiac structures have been detected in DCM patients.
