title: [Dilatation (congestive) cardiomyopathy: clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Clinical and electrocardiographic manifestations of congestive cardiomyopathy are considered on the basis of observations of 25 patients with this pathology of the myocardium. No clinico-electrocardiographic signs specific for this disease were found. Most characteristic were cardiomegaly, congestive cardiac failure and various disturbances of rhythm and conductivity. Thromboembolic complications in the lung and kidney vessels are frequently found. Cardiac glycosides, saluretics and vasodilators were employed in the treatment of patients with congestive cardiomyopathy but the prognosis was usually poor.
