University School Of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey An 80-years-old-man with adult polycystic kidney disease and familial multiple myeloma that is complicated with massive pericardial effusion and dilated cardiomyopathy during the course of the disease is presented [tjh.com.tr]

This presents an opportunity to invoke lifestyle changes and to provide pharmacological therapy earlier in the course of disease. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Lakhhdar et al. reported the case of two brothers (25 and 23 years) and their sister (who died at 14) presenting a DCM and for whom the celiac disease was discovered whereas they presented no digestive symptoms [ 17 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Snapshot A 60-year-old man presents to his cardiologist for worsening shortness of breath and easy fatigability. He began developing symptoms a few months prior to presentation. [step2.medbullets.com]

In more severe cases, affected individuals present with signs and symptoms of heart failure. Young children often have poor appetite and cachexia. [revportcardiol.org]

For these reasons, routine diagnostic imaging workup of patients with DCM (including echocardiography, selective coronary angiography, and, when indicated, endomyocardial biopsy) has been integrated in the last few years with the use of cardiac magnetic [hindawi.com]

Workup is focused on identifying any possible reversible causes. Recommended laboratory testing includes thyroid function tests, HIV serology, electrolytes, and iron studies (to rule out hemochromatosis). [statpearls.com]

Despite improvements in the treatment of heart failure introduced in the last 10 years, including the general availability of cardiac transplantation and better medical treatment, clinical outcome following the onset of symptoms has not substantially [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Before the treatment he had ejection fraction of 18{\%}. Discussing with his cardiologists we decided for immunoadsorption therapy. We performed 5 cycles on consecutive days in Intensive Care Unit. [hungary.pure.elsevier.com]

Cardiomyopathy is a serious medical condition that requires treatment. Without treatment, the disease may progress and become life threatening. [medicalnewstoday.com]

To date, there are no specific treatment options for DCM patients but heart transplantation. [embopress.org]

Overall, the prognosis of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy is guarded. [statpearls.com]

The prognosis of DCM is poor despite the development of medical treatment. Immunoadsorption is hopeful since, with the removal of antibodies, cardiac function and NYHA class can improve and LVAD/heart transplantation-free survival can be prolonged. [hungary.pure.elsevier.com]

The accurate assessment of prognosis in patients with cardiomyopathy is critical. [revespcardiol.org]

The prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy varies considerably depending on many factors. In general, the prognosis worsens as the heart becomes more dilated and functions less well. Abnormal heart rhythms also indicate a worse prognosis. [merckmanuals.com]

In addition, identifying the probable cause of DCM helps tailor specific therapies to improve prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Environmental factors are also blamed in the etiology. [tjh.com.tr]
