Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as a primary heart muscle disorder characterizedby decreased myocardial contractility, impairment of the ventricular function of the myocardium. The management of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy is always a challenge for an anesthesiologist, as this situation is associated with severe cardiac failure and a high mortality rate during or after anesthesia. We report the successful anesthetic management of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy undergoing surgery for pelvic fracture.
