The purpose of this overview is to: 1.. Define DCM; 2.. Identify the categories of DCM; 3.. Provide the evaluation strategy of a proband with nonsyndromic DCM; 4.. Provide a basic view of genetic risk assessment of at-risk asymptomatic relatives of a proband with DCM to inform cardiac surveillance and allow early detection and treatment of DCM to improve long-term outcome.
