Abstract：
UNLABELLED:The clinical profile of 19 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy from 2 to 18 years old (mean age 13.4 +/- 4 years) was reviewed to detect any factors that might be predictive for their survival. Follow-up study ranged from 5 to 105 months (mean 39 +/- 33 months). All patients received digitalis + diuretics, 12 were managed with immunosuppression, 16 with antiarrhythmics. There were 12 survivors and 7 nonsurvivors: the 1-year mortality was 21.2%, the 2-years mortality was 35.8%. All deaths were within first 2 years. In 12 patients who survived 2 years, significant improvement was noticed in 9 cases. Endomyocardial biopsy was performed in 16 patients. Four of them with histological diagnosis of myocarditis survived and in 3 of them a considerable improvement was noticed. Half of 12 patients with nonspecific histological findings died (p less than 0.05). There was no significant difference between survivors and nonsurvivors in all following parameters: the incidence of severe heart failure (NYHA class III-IV) and severe ventricular arrhythmias (Lown III-IV), relative heart volume, echocardiographic LVDD, haemodynamic parameters--CI, LVEF, LVEDP, LVEDVI. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and haemodynamic data are nonpredictive for survival. The most dangerous period are the first two years of illness. In long term, improvement was noticed in half of patients.
