Functional Class in Children with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy. A pilot Study
BACKGROUND Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM), most common cardiac cause of pediatric deaths, mortality descriptor: a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and low functional capacity (FC). FC is never self reported by children. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were (i) To evaluate whether functional classifications according to the children, parents and medical staff were assoc...

متن کاملDifferences in echocardiographic characteristics of functional mitral regurgitation in ischaemic versus idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: a pilot study.
INTRODUCTION Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common complication in patients with ischaemic (ICM) or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), as a consequence of left ventricular (LV) remodelling. The aim of this study was to elucidate the differences in FMR between patients with ICM and DCM utilising conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography. METHODS We studied 21 patients ...
متن کاملIdiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Background Autoantibodies against the 81-adrenoceptor have been detected in the sera of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The mechanisms by which these autoantibodies can alter normal receptor function are investigated, and the results are interpreted in the light of the beneficial effects of P1-blockade in some of these patients. Methods and Results Autoantibodies against ...
