Abstract

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) is characterized by dilatation and impaired contraction of the left or both ventricles. In the last few decades, it has been one of the most largely investigated heart diseases. Nevertheless, by now, its etiology still represents a challenge and the diagnosis is mainly based on the exclusion of any specific heart muscle disease, i.e. any disease associated with known cardiac or systemic disorder. Due to the scarce knowledge, the classification of the ethiologic factors is still tentative1.
