Has been carried out the investigation of structural-functional condition of left ventricular during Dilatative Cardiomyopathy at early and progressive stages of disease. The present study demonstrate that left ventricular systolic function is correlated with severe impairment of dilated cardiomyopathy, according to the clinical stage. Left ventricular diastolic filling abnormalities are found, reflecting abnormal relaxation in early dilated cardiomyopathy. Our results indicate that progressive impairment of left ventricular systolic function is reciprocally related to the development of diastolic filling abnormalities. Structural changes of left ventricle appeared to be the determinant in its functional transformation, that is, in remodeling of left ventricle.
