Abstrakt: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is heart muscle disease characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilatation and impaired myocardial contractility [1]. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, and is one of the two most frequent indications for cardiac transplantation. The prevalence of DCM in the United States has been estimated at around 0.04% [2], with an annual incidence of 0.005-0.006% [2, 3]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
