This case report describes the clinical presentation and medical management of an 18-year-old male with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Supports multimodal therapy in rare adolescent non-ischemic cardiomyopathy; leaves open need for prospective trials.
Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the dilation of left ventricle occurs. Due to this condition motor movement of the ventricles (contraction) of heart decreases which results in less efflux of oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. The clinical manifestations include chest pain, SOB, progressive dry cough, fatigue and restlessness. This is a case of 18yr male patient diagnosed as NIDCM with the above symptoms. His clinical findings (ECG, 2D ECHO) were abnormal and for the proper management of this case drugs like anti-hypertensive, inotropes, diuretics and anti-allergic were prescribed along with some non-pharmacological treatment.

Devakar et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy (n=1). Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment (Carvedilol, Digoxin, Losartan, Fruselac, Monzet) was evaluated. An 18-year-old male diagnosed with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy was managed with a combination of anti-hypertensives, inotropes, diuretics, and lifestyle modifications to suppress disease severity.
