Patient's question:
My friend's mother said she was not feeling well yesterday. She had some discomfort in her heart and thought it was necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up. Then we took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctors found that she had dilated cardiomyopathy and wanted to treat it. Could you please help explain what dilated cardiomyopathy is and how to deal with it?Doctor's answer:
This disease is one of the more common types of cardiomyopathy. First, we should look at the structure of the heart chambers, and then we should examine the function of the heart. If the inflammation is not severe, the disease is often delayed through oral medication and irregular follow-up. If the condition improves, heart failure becomes more pronounced, and this situation may require advanced treatment to be implemented in the hospital. Then there is asynchronous contraction of the heart and significant expansion of the heart chambers. At this point, it can be decided to intervene with minimally invasive surgery to perform synchronous treatment on the ventricles.
