[Congestive cardiomyopathy (author's transl)]. 1976

W Kübler, and H Zebe, and W Mäurer, and H Mehmel, and G Zekl

Congestive cardiomyopathy principally affects adolescent young men. The prognosis is very serious, mortality is almost 50%. Symptomatology, clinical and radiological findings are chiefly determined by signs of cardiac insufficiency. The ECG almost always shows a pathological but not a pathognomonic finding. If ventricular dilation is marked, left ventricular function is partly extremely limited. As causes of congestive cardiomyopathy, inflammatory changes, autoimmunological processes and metabolic disorders are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008676 Metanephrine Product of epinephrine O-methylation. It is a commonly occurring, pharmacologically and physiologically inactive metabolite of epinephrine. Metadrenaline
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D009647 Normetanephrine A methylated metabolite of norepinephrine that is excreted in the urine and found in certain tissues. It is a marker for tumors. 3-Methoxynoradrenaline,Normetadrenaline,3 Methoxynoradrenaline
D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004163 Diphosphoglyceric Acids Glyceric acids where two of the hydroxyl groups have been replaced by phosphates. Bisphosphoglycerates,Acids, Diphosphoglyceric
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
