Dilated cardiomyopathy with lung infection should be treated with anti-infection therapy along with dilated cardiomyopathy. Commonly used methods include general treatment and drug treatment.
Dilated cardiomyopathy can cause arrhythmia, appendage thrombosis, heart failure and so on.
1. Arrhythmia: commonly used anti-arrhythmic drugs are amiodarone.
2. Attached wall thrombus: dilated cardiomyopathy patients with atrial and ventricular enlargement, cardiac contractile function is reduced, blood flow dynamics is also reduced, pro-coagulation factor activity increases, thus causing the formation of wall thrombus in the cardiac cavity, which can lead to embolism, and can be applied to prevent the formation of wall thrombus aspirin.
3. Heart failure: dilated cardiomyopathy can cause heart failure after loss of compensation. Commonly used drugs include diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril, β-blockers such as propranolol, positive inotropic agents such as digoxin, coenzyme Q10 and so on.
4. Anti-infection treatment: Dilated cardiomyopathy can cause pulmonary stasis due to the decline in myocardial contraction function, which can lead to lung infection. Anti-infective treatment should be given while treating dilated cardiomyopathy, and antibiotics can be given according to the results of drug sensitivity.
If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for early and regular treatment. All the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist, avoid self-medication.
