Dilated cardiomyopathy - what does this mean

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart's ability to pump blood is decreased due to the enlargement and weakening of the heart muscle. this can be caused by a number of factors, including genetic abnormalities, viral infections, alcohol abuse, and malnutrition. in some cases, the cause is unknown. symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. treatment typically includes medications to improve heart function and lifestyle changes to reduce stress on the heart.

What happens during the disease - dilated cardiomyopathy

Под действием причинных факторов уменьшается количество функционально полноценно кардиомиоцитов, что сопровождается расширением камер сердца и снижением насосной функции миокарда. Дилатация сердца приводит к диастолической и систолической дисфункции желудочков и обусловливает развитие застойной сердечной недостаточности в малом, а затем и в большом круге кровообращения.

 

На начальных стадиях дилатационной кардиомиопатии компенсация достигается благодаря действию закона Франка–Старлинга, увеличению ЧСС и уменьшению периферического сопротивления. По мере истощения резервов сердца прогрессирует ригидность миокарда, нарастает систолическая дисфункция, уменьшается минутный и ударный объем, нарастает конечное диастолическое давление в левом желудочке, что приводит к еще большему его расширению.

 

В результате растяжения полостей желудочков и клапанных колец развивается относительная митральная и трикуспидальная недостаточность. Гипертрофия миоцитов и формирование заместительного фиброза приводят к компенсаторной гипертрофии миокарда. При уменьшении коронарной перфузии развивается субэндокардиальная ишемия.

 

Вследствие снижения сердечного выброса и уменьшения почечной перфузии активизируются симпатическая нервная и ренин-ангиотензиновая системы. Выброс катехоламинов сопровождается тахикардией, возникновением аритмий. Развивающиеся периферическая вазоконстрикция и вторичный гиперальдостеронизм приводят к задержке ионов натрия, увеличению ОЦК и развитию отеков.

 

У 60 % пациентов с дилатационной кардиомиопатией в полостях сердца формируются пристеночные тромбы, вызывающие в дальнейшем развитие тромбоэмболического синдрома.
