Improvement of the outcome in patients with infantile dilated cardiomyopathy over three decades - The usefulness of long-term gradually medical supportive care.

CONCLUSIONS: The outcome in patients with infantile DCM has significantly improved with careful acute and chronic treatments using ACEIs and beta-blockers since the 2000s. Adopting a long-term supportive treatment during a period of low ventricular function and the use of beta-blockers corresponding to each patient's condition were key to survival.
