Fadl S, et al. - An inquiry was set up in order to discern the incidence, mortality and morbidity of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and non-compaction of the left ventricle (LVNC) in Swedish children. It was determined that the combined incidence of DCM and LVNC was similar to previous findings. Maximum children with idiopathic DCM presented during infancy. Moreover, highest mortality was observed during the first year after diagnosis.
