Prevalence of desmin mutations in dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy (DRM) is a cardiac and skeletal muscle disease caused by mutations in the desmin (DES) gene. Mutations in the central 2B domain of DES cause skeletal muscle disease that typically precedes cardiac involvement. However, the prevalence of DES mutations in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) without skeletal muscle disease is not known. METHODS AND RESULT...
متن کاملPeripartum cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy: different at heart
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a severe cardiac disease occurring in the last month of pregnancy or in the first 5 months after delivery and shows many similar clinical characteristics as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) such as ventricle dilation and systolic dysfunction. While PPCM was believed to be DCM triggered by pregnancy, more and more studies show important differences between these d...
متن کاملPrevalence of overt dilated cardiomyopathy in two regions of England.
The prevalence of dilated cardiomyopathy was assessed in two regions in England from 420 replies to 771 questionnaires sent to general practitioners. Overall point prevalence was 8.317 per 100 000 population in areas covering a total sample of 913 836 inhabitants. There was a statistically significant regional variation between East Anglia (Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire) and Essex, Hertf...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of atrial fibrosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES We examined the extent of fibrotic changes in the left atrium of cardiomyopathic human hearts and investigated the relation of mechanical overload caused by left ventricular dysfunction to fibrosis of the left atrium. BACKGROUND Left atrial dysfunction in dilated cardiomyopathy may contribute to progression of heart failure. In contrast to fibrosis of the left ventricle, atrial fib...
متن کاملPrevalence of increased myocardial extracellular volume fraction in dilated cardiomyopathy
Background Extracellular volume fraction cardiac magnetic resonance (ECV-CMR) enables quantitative myocardial tissue characterization. Increased myocardial ECV is correlated to myocardial fibrosis, inversely related to the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), and an independent predictor of mortality. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by decreased LVEF and increased LV end-diast...
