The long-term outcome of patients with hypertensive cardiomyopathy

The prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy due to hypertension (HT-DCM) is surprisingly unknown, particularly in the absence of coronary disease and diabetes. We aimed at investigating the long-term outcome and the predictors of mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction exclusive...

Zusammenfassung:	The prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy due to hypertension (HT-DCM) is surprisingly unknown, particularly in the absence of coronary disease and diabetes. We aimed at investigating the long-term outcome and the predictors of mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction exclusively due to hypertension. From October 1995 to May 2001, 90 consecutive patients with echocardiographic fractional shortening (FS)
