Summary: 56 newly diagnosed patients with "idiopatic" dilated cardiomyopathy were included. To all patients the examinations and laboratory findings were undertaken according to methodology described in registration of investigation. Dilated cardiomyopathy is of special interest for investigators because of younger age of patients and noncurable nature of disease. The infectious-immunological aspects of pathogenesis, genetic determinants for appearance of dilated cardiomyopathy were analised. Early diagnostic signs of disease, frequency of some clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic parameters and parameters from other invasive and noninvasive technics were analized as well as course of disease, and implication of varous mode of treatments on survival.

Keywords: dilatative cardiomyopathy, prognostic factors, treatment

Research goals: Goals of this investigation is understanding of natural history, and pathofisiology of syndrome of primary and secondary dilated cardiomyopathies. In the group of secondary cardiomyopathies special investigation was undertaken on alcoholic and postinfectious cardiomyopathies.
