Introduction:
cardiomyopathy means "heart muscle disease". It is a chronic and sometimes progressive disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium) enlarges, thickens and / or stiffens abnormally, and the heart can no longer contract or relax normally.

Milanés Tamayo", with a health history, which is treated in our center for moderate bronchiolitis. cardiac area by chest X-rays, EKG showing a sinus tachycardia and ECG evidencing severe ovoid LV dilatation, mitral valve with signs of low cardiac output, with limited opening with decreased global cardiac contractility, diagnosing a dilated cardiomyopathy.
Discussion:
dilated cardiomyopathy (MD), also called congestive, is characterized by enlarged left ventricle and / or right ventricle with hypocontractility of its walls, resulting in signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure.
Conclusions:
it is important to highlight the need to know the forms of presentation of cardiomyopathies in order to make a correct and timely diagnosis.
