Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart that are not the result of reduced blood flow but rather caused by other factors such as viral infections. Learn about the definition, symptoms, and causes of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Frank is a 54-year-...
1. Frank is suffering from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Which of the following symptoms is NOT usually associated with this condition? Difficulty breathing Fatigue Swelling of the legs Weight loss 2. Justin has non-ischemic cardiomyopathy caused by an autoimmune disorder. Which of the following is ...
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have associated heart failure (HF) of ischemic etiology with worse prognosis compared to HF from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. HF treatment has evolved significantly in recent years. Has this evolution had an impact on this prognostic gap? OBJECTIVE: The aim of our stud...
Nonischemic cardiomyopathySudden cardiac deathSudden cardiac death mechanismsSudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a major cause of death among patients with heart failure. While scar-based, macro-reentrant ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) is the primary etiology for SCD among...

SERCA2 Oxidative posttranslational modification Myocardial fibrosis Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy 1. Introduction Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is crucial for cell contraction and relaxation [1]; thus, cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) levels are tightly regulated during the normal contraction-relaxation cycle in the...
biomarkers; endomyocardial biopsy; inflammation; non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy; prognosis1. Introduction Heart failure is a multi-etiologic clinical syndrome that affects up to 2% of the adult population in developed countries [1]. One of the leading causes of heart failure is non-ischemic ...
In this review, we focus on non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, especially reactive myocardial fibrosis, in ESKD patients. Keywords: reactive fibrosis; type 2 myocardial infarction; biomarker 1. Introduction About 20 years have passed since chronic kidney disease (CKD) was first recognized as a contributor ...

However, reports on the usefulness of malnutrition evaluated by the GLIM criteria in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) and its relationship with psoas muscle volume are lacking. We investigated the prognostic value of malnutrition evaluated using the GLIM criteria and its association with ...
