A dilated LV can occur from an overworked heart. The overwork can be from high blood pressure, ischemia (occluded vessels), etc. The underlying cause can be treated by dilating vessels,(opening and relaxing vessels; coreg, beta blocker is the appropriate medication).
Years ago my EF was 29 - 13%, an enlarged (dilated) left ventricle, ischemia, etc. and medication reversed remodeling of the LV, reduced bp, slowed heart rate, etc. and today my EF is 59%.
