Abstract

Echocardiographic study was performed in 31 cases with dilated cardiomyopathy and 31 normal persons. measurement values of the aortic valve and root echocardiogram were compared with those in normal. The resuts were followings. 1. There were 22 males and 9 females of 31 cases with dilated cardiomyopathy whose average ages were 53 years. 2. LAD 3.86+/-0.76cm, AoD/LAD ratio 0.74+/-0.21 in dilated cardiomyopathy were significantly changed with those in normal(p<0.01). 3. C-E slope 2.14+/-0.68 cm in dilated cardiomyopathy was significantly decreased with that in normal(p<0.01). 4. cAoD 3.24+/-0.50 cm, AoPWT 0.46+/-0.14 cm in dilated cardiomyopathy were significantly decreased with those in normal(p<0.01). 5. cAVD 1.56+/-0.29cm, cAvD/mAvD ratio 0.79+/-0.10 in dilated cardiomyopathy were significantly decreased with those in normal(p<0.01). 6. AvOT or ET 0.24+/-0.03 sec. in dilated cardiomyopathy was significantly shortened with that in normal(p<0.01).
