Dilated Cardiomyopathy

  • Chapter
Cardiovascular Genetics for Clinicians

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 239))

Abstract

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a primary heart muscle disease characterised by left ventricu1ar dilatation with impaired contraction of the left ventricle and occasionally right ventricular disease. DCM has an incidence of 4/100.00 per year. It is a leading cause for heart failure and an important indication for cardiac transplantation. The disease is associated with a high risk of sudden death due to ventricular arrhythmias and a high mortality rate of 15– 50% within 5 years.
