  • what stress test i think its ABSOLUTELY wrong the best way is to look coronary artery disease in dilated cardiomyopathy is angiography........

    Correct me if i am wrong

  • thank you for this video! i tried going into your website but for some reason came up as unavailable. Have you checked it lately?

  • hey doctor i have a question, i have had an ekg done, and the DR, sayed my heart was bigger than a normal size heart. and other doctors have sayed my heart is long.... but it isnt dialated. so if my heart is bigger than a normal size heart but isnt dialated, does that still mean i have an enlarged heart? and another doctr sayed my heart was enlarged but there were no signs of heart failure and i was in perfect health, please reply DR.Paule, i would like your opinion! many thanks!

  • ch alcohole use are the main cause of dil cardio myopathy

  • @idahoheartmom that's more likely to be hypertrophic. That is genetically related while dialated is self inflicted by chemical abuse. Check with a specialist , remember always get a second opinion.

  • Hi, thank you so much for such an informative and educational video. I really appreciate your clarity as a medical student trying to undertand this.

    However, after 6:52 you say that there is thinning of the myocardium - is that true? Kumar and Clark says "DCM has a prevalence of 1 in 2500 and is characterized by dilatation of the ventricular chambers and systolic dysfunction with preserved wall thickness." (Page 792)

    Could you please clarify this for me?

  • ur awesome

  • Yes, I am sure. I know MANY families with DCM where it is idopathic or genetic

  • @idahoheartmom

    r you sure that it is dcm

    ask your doc. about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

  • thank you sooo much!
