Article Synopsis
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a significant cause of heart failure in younger patients, with recent findings identifying toxic cardiomyopathy (TCM) from substance abuse as a notable trigger.
- A study of 553 patients revealed that 19% had TCM, commonly linked to substances like amphetamines and cocaine, with a majority achieving event-free survival and some recovering heart function with proper treatment.
- Mechanical support, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), was beneficial for select patients, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches.
