Electrocardiographic and echocardiographic characteristics of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a syndrome characterized by cardiac enlargement and impaired systolic function of one or both ventricles. Due to increased awareness of this condition along with improvement in diagnostic techniques, dilated cardiomyopathy is being recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The current study aimed at understanding the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic characteristics of DCM patients. Material and Methods: A total of 50 patients (30 males and 20 females) of dilated cardiomyopathy were studied.ECG and 2D Echocardiography was done among all these patients using standard techniques. Diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy done by echocardiography. Results: All ages were affected but elderly and middle aged population werefound to be predominantly affected. Left axis deviation, LVH, bundle branch block, atrial fibrillation were common ECG abnormalities. The ECHO findings in patients revealed a dilated LV cavity with low ejection fraction. Valvular regurgitation were seen in 86% of patients predominantly MR. Key Words: Dilated cardiomyopathy, electrocardiography, 2D Echo
