Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is the third most common cause of heart failure.Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in heart failure (HF) patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on clinical out come in patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
This study included 88 patients who have been diagnosed to be dilated cardiomyopathy patients who were follow up at Al-Minya University hospital cardiology department and those patients were supplied by vitamin D in addition to anti failure treatment during period from August 2016 to April 2017.
All patients in this study were subjected to:
History taking and clinical examination.
Electrocardiogram.
Echocardiographic assessment was done to the patient (Left ventricular systolic function will be calculated using biplane Simpson method from apical four-chamber and two chamber viewsand M.Mode Method. And diastolic dysfunction).
All patients were received anti failure treatment (Dieuretic,ACEI,Spirinolactone,Beta Blockers) in addition to vitamin D supplementation.
Laboratory investigations. This study demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation improved clinical out come in dilated cardiomyopathy patients through improvement of functional capacity, decrease rate of hospital admisions of those patients after serum vitamin D level increased in those patients after supplementation.
Finally, we proved that vitamin D supplementation improves clinical out come in dilated cardiomyopathy patients.
