Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is a primary myocardial disease of unknown etiology characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilation and impaired contractility. Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy pose many anaesthetic challenges in patients undergoing non cardiac surgery. We report successful management of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy with low ejection fraction who underwent total hip replacement under combined spinal epidural anaesthesia.
