Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition where the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes enlarged and weak. This makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms like heart failure, irregular heartbeats, and blood clots. While the exact cause is often unknown, it can be linked to genetic factors, viral infections, and autoimmune phenomena. Understanding the pathophysiological process of DCM is crucial for exploring new treatment methods and controlling its occurrence and development in the early stages.
