Two cases of dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by left ventricular aneurysm.
This report describes two patients with dilated cardiomyopathy associated with angiographically proven left ventricular aneurysm. There was no apparent history of myocardial infarction and coronary arteries were angiographically normal in both cases.
متن کاملDilated cardiomyopathy after electrical injury: report of two cases.
The specific etiologic factor and pathogenesis of most dilated cardiomyopathies have yet to be described definitively. Hypotheses of the etiologic factor of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) abound. This report describes two patients with electrical injury in whom DCM developed after the electrical insult in the absence of other precipitating causes. Further histologic examination of myoc...
متن کامل[Cell therapy in dilated cardiomyopathy].
A forty-one-year-old male with systolic heart failure, FC-III NYHA, clinical stage C due to dilated cardiomyopathy was submitted to an autologous transplant of the mononuclear fraction of bone marrow via coronary artery system through heart catheterism. Two months after the procedure, there was a decrease in plasma BNP and cardiac area reduction at the thorax X-ray and nuclear magnetic resonanc...
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 کاملVasodilator therapy of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Vasoconstriction increases impedance to ventricular ejection and impairs the performance of the dilated myopathic heart. Vasodilator drug therapy by reducing vascular resistance, increasing vascular compliance and increasing vascular capacitance improves cardiac function and relieves the signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure. Earlier intervention in an attempt to alter the natural hist...
