Abstract

Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the dilation of left ventricle occurs. Due to this condition motor movement of the ventricles (contraction) of heart decreases which results in less efflux of oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. The clinical manifestations include chest pain, SOB, progressive dry cough, fatigue and restlessness. This is a case of 18yr male patient diagnosed as NIDCM with the above symptoms. His clinical findings (ECG, 2D ECHO) were abnormal and for the proper management of this case drugs like anti-hypertensive, inotropes, diuretics and anti-allergic were prescribed along with some non-pharmacological treatment.
