Abstract

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by progressive left ventricular (LV) dilatation and greatly impaired LV systolic function, eventually culminating in end-stage congestive heart failure and death. Despite recent improvements in medical management, the overall prognosis of individuals with DCM is still poor.
