 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Dilated cardiomyopathy patients with high blood pressure changes in cardiac function and prognosis [Abstract] Objective: To observe the dilated cardiomyopathy patients with hypertension and hypertension with clinical characteristics is not different. Methods: The hospital from 1989 to 2006 155 patients with diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy in the clinical data of hospitalized cases retrospectively. Results: (1) dilated cardiomyopathy heart failure in patients with hypertension the blood pressure higher than 140/90 mm Hg, 30%. (2) with essential hypertension and left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy after wall thickness (LVPW, interventricular septum thickness (IVS, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, left ventricular weight (LVMW other indicators than those without hypertension. (3) After treatment, improvement of cardiac function associated with hypertension is more obvious . Conclusions: (1) exclusion of hypertension using blood pressure as the heart damage caused by the standard has some limitations. (2) a small number of patients with hypertension in dilated cardiomyopathy may be due to hypertension is unknown but belongs to hypertension-induced the scope of the heart damage. [Keywords] Keywords: dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertension, heart function Over the years, dilated cardiomyopathy (dilated cardiomyopathy, DCM because the diagnosis of unknown cause, can only be a diagnosis of exclusion by the diagnosis of other diseases as well as the obvious constraints. Because of the low awareness of hypertension, in part due to long-term hypertension-induced heart enlargement, heart failure in clinical imaging and is difficult to distinguish between DCM and is likely to have high blood pressure caused by enlargement of the heart as part of mixed in DCM diagnosis. Therefore, we diagnosed in our hospital DCM-patient records, and to observe the DCM with and without high blood pressure levels in the blood pressure, cardiac fun
