Overview

The prevalence of dilated cardiomyopathy is approximately 36 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. It has a high mortality rate of up to 50%. Dilated cardiomyopathy is most likely to occur between the ages of 20-60, is three times as likely to occur in males over females, and is 2.5 times more likely to occur in African Americans.
