Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) results from heart enlargement. It is a fetal cardiac disorder, where heart walls become weak and heart fails to pump blood efficiently. It could have negative impact on lungs, liver and other important organs due to improper supply of blood. Left ventricle is the major pumping chamber that can be initially affected in cardiomyopathy causing its enlargement. The other symptoms of cardiomyopathy include irregular heartbeats, blood clots and valve problems. Male individuals are more prone to cardiomyopathy than female individuals. The causes for dilated cardiomyopathy are genetic defects, infections, birth defects, certain cancer medications, drug and alcohol abuse and exposure to toxic metals. The available treatments focus to improve the blood flow of heart, which is the primary leads to cardiomyopathy.

The Asia-pacific market for dilated cardiomyopathy is segmented on the basis of treatment types and geography. The currently available treatment includes drugs and implantable devices. The different types of drugs used to treat dilated cardiomyopathy include angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta blockers, aldosterone antagonists, digitalis, angiotensin II receptor blockers and anticoagulants. Various therapy devices include implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), biventricular pacemakers and heart pumps. Geographically, the Asia-pacific market for dilated cardiomyopathy is segmented into China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Singapore and others. India and China are promising market for the growth of dilated cardiomyopathy market due to the high prevalence of disease conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
