In dilated cardiomyopathy, the heart ejects blood less efficiently than normal. Consequently, a large volume of blood remains in the left ventricle after systole, causing signs of heart failure — both left-sided (shortness of breath, orthopnea, dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, fatigue, and an irritating dry cough at night) and right-sided (edema, liver engorgement, and jugular vein distention). Dilated cardiomyopathy also produces peripheral cyanosis and sinus tachycardia or atrial fibrillation at rest in some patients secondary to low cardiac output. Auscultation reveals diffuse apical impulses, pansystolic murmur (mitral and tricuspid insufficiency secondary to cardiomegaly and weak papillary muscles), and S 3 and S4 gallop rhythms.

With dilated cardiomyopathy, the heart ejects blood less efficiently than usual. Consequently, a large volume of blood remains in the left ventricle after systole, causing signs and symptoms of heart failure —both left-sided (shortness of breath, orthopnea, exertional dyspnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, fatigue, and an irritating dry cough at night) and right-sided (edema, liver engorgement, and jugular vein distention).
Physical examination reveals cardiomegaly, an S3 gallop rhythm and, often, a murmur resulting from functional mitral insufficiency.
