Hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy
AbstractDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common and important cause of morbidity and mortality. Many factors can contribute to the development of this disorder, although most commonly the etiology is unexplained. However, recent studies in individuals with idiopathic DCM now reveal a heritable cause in 20–30% of individuals.
