title: [Clinico-morphological characteristics of dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: The paper presents the results of a clinicomorphological study of 50 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. ECG, echocardiography, x-ray revealed atrial fibrillation, parasystole, extrasystole, impairment of intraventricular conduction, symptoms of a focal cicatricial myocardial lesion, high end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes, reduced ejection fraction, marked axial dilatation of the heart. Morphologic evaluation showed diffuse and diffuse microfocal cardiosclerosis, combination of sites of hypertrophic myocardiocytes with dystrophic foci, atrophy, sclerosis. Morphological evidence is available for arrhythmic, cardiomegalic, aneurysmic, infarction-like and pseudovalvular dilated cardiomyopathy.
