In some cases, this prevents the heart from filling with blood as it should. Over time, it can affect the other chambers. Symptoms Many people with dilated cardiomyopathy have no symptoms. Some that do have only minor ones, and live a normal life.[webmd.com]
In the normal heart, left ventricular (LV) contraction during systole forces blood exclusively through the aortic valve into the aorta; the closed mitral valve prevents regurgitation into the left atrium (LA).[brown.edu]
