Cardiomyopathy caused by dysfunction of the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy in children is relatively rare with unclear manifestations, but severe course and high risk of death should be detected early. Below are the possible cardiomyopathy in children.

Cardiac enlargement, dilated cardiomyopathy, or in medicine called dilated cardiomyopathy, is a disease of the heart muscle, usually starting from the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, losing its firm elastic structure. The disease may initially cause no symptoms, but once symptoms are present, they progress rapidly, have a severe prognosis, and eventually lead to potentially life-threatening events.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle of unknown etiology and is a major cause of heart failure. The disease has a poor prognosis with a mortality rate of 35% after 5 years and up to 70% after 10 years. So how is dilated cardiomyopathy diagnosed?

Dilated cardiomyopathy can occur at any age. However, the most common and high-risk age group is from 20-50 years old, affecting the patient's ability to work and family life. Currently, Vinmec Hospital applies the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy with the non-surgical mitral valve repair technique (Mitra clip) without surgery, providing good recovery for patients.

Mitral valve replacement surgery is a radical, effective and last resort treatment for severe mitral valve disease. So what are the treatment methods for mitral valve disease?
