Fourteen patients with predominantly right sided dilated cardiomyopathy were studied, of whom five died suddenly. The condition is characterised by male preponderance, syncope, ventricular tachycardia, which typically has a left bundle branch block pattern on the surface electrocardiogram, and right heart failure. The diagnosis should be considered in patients presenting with otherwise unexplained ventricular tachycardia or syncope; the diagnosis may be readily missed because of the nonspecific nature or absence of signs.
对14例以右侧扩张型心肌病为主的患者进行了研究,其中5例突然死亡。该病的特点是男性居多、晕厥、室性心动过速,体表心电图通常呈左束支传导阻滞图形,以及右心衰竭。对于出现不明原因室性心动过速或晕厥的患者应考虑该诊断;由于症状不具特异性或缺乏体征,该诊断可能很容易被漏诊。
