Case of the Day 101 - 2025 09 11 - MYH7 Dilated Cardiomyopathy and LV Reverse Remodeling
MYH7 is the 3rd commonest inheritable cause of genetic dilated cardiomyopathy. All ”idiopathic” DCMs must have genetic testing done to determine prognosis, arrhythmogenic vs heart failure possibilities and to diagnose possible disease in family members if a definite gene is identified
27 years old two years ago with a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), at the time idiopathic.
Genetic testing revealed MYH7 likely pathogenic gene - this is MYH7 related genetic DCM.
The video discusses the case, the follow-up CMR done yesterday, the concept of LV reverse remodeling and the importance of genetic testing in every "idiopathic" dilated cardiomyopathy.
