DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The article presents data on the etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy in children (postmyocardial, metabolic, associated with neuromuscular pathology, idiopathic). The genetic aspects of the disease are covered, a wide range of mutations in genes encoding proteins of various structures of the cardiomyocyte (sarcomeric complex, cytoskeleton, Z-discs, mitochondria), and various inheritance options are described.
