Genetic and Inflammatory Predictors of Nondilated LV Cardiomyopathy Progression
Understanding Nondilated Left Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) Nondilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a form of heart muscle disease characterized by a normal-sized left ventricle despite functional impairment. Unlike dilated cardiomyopathy, NDLVC can be more insidious, with patients remaining asymptomatic for longer periods or presenting with heart failure symptoms that are not easily attributed to classic…

Genetic and Inflammatory Predictors in NDLVC Progression
Introduction Nondilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) challenges clinicians with a condition that can silently advance despite a normal-sized heart. A large multicenter analysis reported in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology found that nearly 40% of patients experienced clinically meaningful disease progression over long-term follow-up. This finding underscores the importance of identifying predictive biomarkers that can…
