“…When a cure is not available, treatment of disease is aimed at reducing the impact of the disease, extending lifespan, and maintaining quality of life. Treatment of DCM in people is focused primarily on managing symptoms if at the overt stage of disease or, if presented with a preclinical case, prolonging the time between diagnosis and congestive heart failure [35]. Due to the predisposition of certain canine breeds, preclinical cardiac screening can help diagnose early abnormal findings, leading to a more successful diagnosis and potentially a management and treatment regime [36], in addition to possibly altering breeding programmes and preferences for some owners/breeders.…”

Dilated cardiomyopathy involves enlargement of the ventricular chamber and systolic dysfunction. The reduction in quality of life and increased levels of congestive heart failure, combined with the high diagnosis rate within the canine population, highlights the need for research into this disorder. This chapter looks at prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy. It details the disease pathology and physiology through to present clinical practices and studies to support prevention and treatment. This chapter also looks at the research being undertaken to further understand cardiomyopathies in dogs and develop new interventions. This ranges from fatty acids profiles to genetics and even personalized medicine and comparisons with human cardiomyopathy.
