Overview
Causes
Common Causes
There are many causes and there are varying degrees of severity of the disease. Some forms are reversible and some are irreversible; some patients may be completely asymptoamtic and some may require cardiac transplantation.
There are many causes of dilated cardiomyopathy.
- Idiopathic-most common and it accounts for roughly 50% of cases.[1]
- Myocarditis-next most common and it accounts for roughly 10% of cases.
- Ischemic cardiomyopathy
- Infiltrative disease
- Hypertensive heart disease
- Substance abuse (i.e. alcohol abuse or cocaine abuse)
- Connective tissue disease
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy
- Drugs (such as the chemotherapeutic agent doxarubacin)
- HIV infection
- Antiretroviral drugs
- Toxins (such as cobalt, lead or beryllium)
- Nutritional deficiencies (such as thiamine or selenium).
The high percentage of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy may be related to the difficulty in diagnosing viral myocarditis.
