Case Report (n=3)
Highlights that the autosomal recessive form of dilated cardiomyopathy may be more common than previously reported.
Goldblatt et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (n=3). Autosomal recessive inheritance was evaluated on Occurrence of dilated cardiomyopathy. Autosomal recessively inherited dilated cardiomyopathy was observed in three members of a consanguineous Madeira Portuguese family, suggesting this form is more common than previously reported.
