Homoeopathic Management of Dilated Cardiomyopathy Progressing to Congestive Heart Failure in A 64-Year-Old Diabetic Woman

Dr. Kirthana L., Dr. Prasobh M. P.

Abstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition characterized by the enlargement and weakening of the heart's ventricles, leading to impaired contraction and reduced blood pumping efficiency. This typically begins in the left ventricle and can progress to affect the right ventricle and atria. As the heart chambers dilate, the heart muscle doesn't contract normally and can't pump blood effectively, which can lead to heart failure [1]. Case Summary: This case report outlines the clinical course of a 64-year-old female patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), who developed congestive cardiac failure (CCF) managed with Homoeopathic treatment. The prescription was based on repertorisation using Phatak repertory and NAJA TRIPUDIANS were prescribed. Initial echocardiogram showed severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (Ejection Fraction 30%) with chamber dilation. An ECHO report taken after approximately 1 year showed significant improvement in LV systolic function (Ejection Fraction 57.7%) and reduction in LV dimensions. The report discusses the patient?s clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, progression of disease, and clinical implications for managing such complex comorbidities with Homoeopathy.
