Abstract

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an increase in the size of the left and/or right ventricular cavity, with systolic dysfunction resulting in a decrease in ejection fraction. Atrial enlargement and valvular dysfunction may also be found. It can be the result of ischemic, toxic, viral, or genetic causes.
