Myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy: an inflammatory link.
Myocarditis is a complex disease because multiple pathogenetic mechanisms play a role. While these mechanisms appear to act in a chronological cascade, they undoubtedly overlap in some cases, rendering diagnosis and treatment difficult. Ultimately, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) may result. A multitude of still-circumstantial evidence points to a major role of viral myocarditis in the etiology of...
متن کاملhormonal profile in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
conclusions the hormonal levels were low in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. however, the prognostic significance of different hormonal deficiencies was not clear in our study populations who were receiving standard therapies for heart failure and had a relatively stable clinical condition. results except for testosterone level, the levels of gh, igf-1, t3, and t4 concentrations...
متن کاملcomparison of benefits from cardiac resynchronization therapy between patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
background: cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) is an effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe heart failure. however, 20-30% of patients remain non-responders to crt. we sought to identify which patients benefit the most from crt in regard to the etiology of heart failure. methods: eighty-three consecutive patients (62 men) who had a biventricular pacemaker inserted at tehr...
متن کاملCardiac PPARalpha expression in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is a central regulator of myocardial fatty acid (FA) metabolism implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure. AIMS To characterize PPARalpha regulation in human dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), we studied the expression of cardiac PPARalpha, cardiac carnitine palmitoyl-transferase I (CPT-1), a major PPARalpha target g...
متن کاملMuscle wasting in young patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Muscle wasting can be accelerated by chronic diseases such as heart failure and is one of the major causes of disability, morbidity, and mortality in this population. We aimed to investigate the incidence of muscle wasting and its associated factors in dilated cardiomyopathy patients younger than 55 years of age. METHODS Between April 2014 and December 2015, all symptomatic patient...
