Can Severely Dilated LV With Global Impairment, Severely Dilated Left Atrium And Mildly Enlarged RV Be Treated Completely?
Hi I am having tests for Dilated cardiomyopathy and am currently awaiting the results of my stress and rest tests MIBI. The results of my echo showed Severely dilated LV with moderate to severe global impairment. Severely dilated left atrium. Midly emlarge RV with preserved function. I am currently on 1.25mg Bisoprolol, 1,25mg Ramipril nd ferusomide. Does it sound like they will manage my DCM with medication only and does it make any difference that there if enlargement on the right too. Thanks Cheryl

Hello,
DCM (Dilated cardiomyopathy) can be treated with beta blockers, ace inhibitors and diuretics.
As it prevents heart failure and right sided dilatation does not make much more difference in treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
