A retrospective study was carried out to assess the incidence of cardiomyopathy in western Denmark (Jutland and Funen) (population 2 798 000) during a two year period (1980-81). The WHO/ISCF classification was strictly followed, and rigid criteria for exclusion and inclusion of patients were adopted. Thus cases in which specific heart muscle disorders (myocarditis, alcoholic heart disease, hypertension etc) were merely suspected were excluded. Forty one patients had dilated cardiomyopathy (overall incidence 7.3/10(6) population/year) and 20 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (overall incidence 3.6/10(6) population/year). In men aged 40-59 years the occurrence of dilated cardiomyopathy was 23.4/10(6) population/year. Only one case of Löffler's endomyocardial disease was diagnosed during the study period. Since the investigation was retrospective and was a study of diseased persons and not a population, and since a specific set of criteria for exclusion and inclusion was rigidly applied, the results represent the minimum frequency of these diseases.
开展了一项回顾性研究，以评估丹麦西部（日德兰半岛和菲英岛）（人口279.8万）在两年期间（1980 - 1981年）心肌病的发病率。严格遵循世界卫生组织/国际心脏病学会联合会（WHO/ISCF）的分类，并采用了严格的患者排除和纳入标准。因此，仅怀疑患有特定心肌疾病（心肌炎、酒精性心脏病、高血压等）的病例被排除。41例患者患有扩张型心肌病（总发病率为7.3/10⁶人口/年），20例患有肥厚型心肌病（总发病率为3.6/10⁶人口/年）。在40 - 59岁的男性中，扩张型心肌病的发病率为23.4/10⁶人口/年。在研究期间仅诊断出1例吕弗勒心内膜疾病。由于该调查是回顾性的，且是对患病个体而非人群的研究，并且严格应用了一套特定的排除和纳入标准，因此这些结果代表了这些疾病的最低发病率。
