Abstract
The article "The Influence of Arrhythmia on the Outcomes of Pediatric Patients with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy" by Mohammad Dalili et al. provides valuable insights into the impact of arrhythmia on idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy outcomes. However, it presents with certain limitations. The study does not consider the link between arrhythmia outcomes and key confounding factors, which can potentially impact the outcome at hand. Moreover, the follow-up interval of year potentially limits the understanding of the longer term implications of arrhythmia in pediatric idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Future research should consider the interplay between these confounding factors and arrhythmias associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, and implement longer follow-up intervals.
