Question :
Posted On : 28 Apr 2007
4 month baby admitted with excessive crying which resolved in 2 hours. Aas a part of investigation - xray was done which showed cardiomegaly. {CT ratio - 80 Percent}.The treating physician considered possibility of dilated cardiomyopathy. On examination there was no murmur or other significant finding. Then 2D ECHO was done which was absolutely normal. Still the physician insisted that it is dilated cardiomyopathy and started on Carvedilol and digoxin. Is it rational?
