Brief Summary: This observational study will provide data variations in ventricular size and function that are essential to designing and conducting clinical trials In addition the study will evaluate intra- and inter-study variability seen in echocardiography
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

Cardiomyopathy is an important cause of chronic disability and death in pediatric patients and currently accounts for approximately 50 of cardiac transplants performed during childhood Left ventricular LV size and function are important independent predictors of outcome and echocardiography is the primary way to assess ventricular function in children Although there is extensive experience with this technology data are limited on how ventricular function changes over time in children which is a major impediment to conducting controlled trials of therapy in children

DESIGN NARRATIVE

This observational study will prospectively evaluate pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy who are undergoing clinically indicated echocardiographic evaluation of LV function Patients who undergo at least two echocardiograms 3 to 18 months apart will have their studies performed by the same ultrasonographer All studies will be sent to the core laboratory for evaluation of variability in LV mass volume and ejection fraction
