Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical diagnostic features of viral myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy.

Methods

The clinical data of a patient who had a 9-year transformation from viral myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy were retrospectively evaluated.

Results

The patient utilized drugs with insufficient treatment and suffered chest tightness and palpitations 5 times after a cold in 9 years. The patient's left ventricular ejection fraction and interventricular septal thickness varied significantly over the course of 9 years, and they have been declining since 2018. In June 2017, a cardiac MRI revealed significant ventricular wall weakening, with a maximal left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of 60.15 mm. The patient′s genetic test results indicated dilated cardiomyopathy, and the DSP gene′s c. 2974-2 A>G site mutation was discovered. The physiology of the heart remained irreversible even after 9 years of the patient taking medication consistently and attempting to avoid disease-relevant triggers.

Conclusions

Patients who carry relevant pathogenic genes are more likely to develop the dilated cardiomyopathy. For the early identification of the cause and the management of illness development, it is crucial to support individualized precision treatment and the early discovery of the associated pathogenic genes.
