Prediction and prognostic role of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in family screening for dilated cardiomyopathy and non‐dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy

European Journal of Heart Failure

Aims The prognostic significance of detecting left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction during family screening programmes (FSPs) in relatives of probands affected by dilated (DCM) and non-dilated left ventricular (NDLVC) cardiomyopathies remain unclear. The primary outcome was all-cause death and heart transplantation.

Understanding an Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

MIBHS

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) CAD, which involves the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, can reduce blood flow to the heart. This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge.

Case Report: Restrictive cardiomyopathy due to a rare mutation in troponin I gene (TNNI3) in a patient

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundRestrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare cardiomyopathy often characterized by normal or reduced ventricular chamber volume and bi-atrial enlargement, caused mainly by mutations in the myonodal gene.
