Do not accept diagnosis of “Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy” in pediatric age group: Before comprehensive

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in children is a hopeless disease; most of the time, patients are destine to die or ultimately become transplant candidate. In our case series, on meticulous re-examination, treatable conditions such as obstructive disease (aortic stenosis, coarctation of aorta) or coronary artery abnormality (anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery and coronary artery occlusion by thrombus) or rhythm abnormality (supraventricular tachycardia) were diagnosed, and all patients were improved after successful correction of underlying cardiac disease.
