Symptoms of dilated heart disease?

summary

The majority of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy can not find a clear cause of onset, which belongs to idiopathic. The other part of patients with viral infection, autoimmune response, drinking, poisoning, family genetic factors and so on. Dilated cardiomyopathy often occurs in 30-50 years old people, the average age of onset is about 40 years old, male is more than female (2.5:1). Symptoms of dilated heart disease? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of dilated heart disease?

Dilated cardiomyopathy, male more than female (2.5:1). Dilated cardiomyopathy has no symptoms in the early stage of onset, occasionally in severe respiratory tract infection or intense exercise feel flustered, physical examination can be normal, only echocardiography examination of left ventricular enlargement.

The symptoms of heart failure and arrhythmia, such as fatigue, fatigue, chest tightness, suffocation, inability to lie flat, palpitation and so on, appeared in the middle stage of the disease. In addition to the above symptoms, abdominal distension, anorexia, edema, pleural effusion and ascites can also appear in the late stage of the disease. Thromboembolism and sudden death may occur in all stages of the disease, with the incidence of 18% and 30% respectively.

In dilated cardiomyopathy, the left and right ventricles are generally enlarged, especially in the left ventricle, accompanied by pathological manifestations such as degeneration, necrosis, fibrosis and calcification of myocardial cells. It is easy to form thrombus attached to the ventricular wall at the apex.

matters needing attention

Surgical treatment: surgical treatment is usually considered only when the drug treatment is difficult to maintain, mainly including partial resection of the left ventricle, latissimus dorsi muscle transplantation into the chest instead of myocardial circulation, heart transplantation and so on. The therapeutic effect needs to be further observed.
