ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hearth dilated myopathy is a well known event because it affects myocardium with no demonstrable etiology. This cardiac event conduces to a hearth failure condition. Several studies support an association between this condition to a low blood selenium concentration. Objectives: determine whether or not blood selenium concentration in patients suffering DCM is associated to myocardial damage, as well as to find out any relationship to the nutritional patient state and dietary facts. Material and methods: A study was conducted at the Cardiology Hospital from the National Medical Center XXI century, Social Security Mexican Institute, in patients having an idiopathic DCM in order to know if blood selenium concentration was low and to look up any relationship to the patients myocardial damage. Results: Ischemic cardiomyopathy clinical analysis were compared to the above condition. Nutritional dietary state was also related to selenium concentration. Conclusions: Low blood selenium concentrations in patients with DCM was validated. There was no relationship among DCM patients to increase myocardial damage. No matter nutritional state of the patient. Low blood selenium concentration was associated to anti arrhythmic amiodorona treatment as well.
