Abstract

The main objective of this study is to test the correlation between the risk

factors of the dilated cardiomyopathy ,and the heart dimensions and the

ejection fraction

50 cases of dilated cardiomyopathy patients who were referred to

echocardiography department. For the assessment of their heart condition.

The sample included 26 male and 24 female patients ,the age for the study

population was 58.20±12.60.The average of the left atrium diameter for the

study population was 42.52±6.52.

The average of the left ventricular end systolic diameter for the study

population was 57.12±12.51. The average of the left ventricular end diastolic

diameter for the study population was55.78±9.32. The average of the left

ventricular posterior wall for the study population was 21.98±20.56. The

average of the interventricular septum for the study population was

11.22±2.71. The average the ejection fraction for the study population

was28.62±8.92. The study showed positive correlation between the risk

factors ( Diabetes mellitus, Hypertention , Coronary artery disease and

Alkohol abuse ) and each of left atrium diameter , left ventricular diameter

at end systolic , left ventricle diameter at end diastolic , internentricular

septal thickness , and ejection fraction . Study showed negative correlation

between ejection fraction and each of left atrium diameter , left ventricle

diameter at end diastolic , left ventricle diameter at end systolic.

The echocardiography and measuring ejection fraction had great value in

evaluation of patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.
