Hello and welcome to our site. Have you been to see a pediatric cardiologist with your daughter yet? The measurements seem like they are too high to me which would mean that the walls of her heart muscle are too thick. This is ONLY a possibility; someone sent you for the echo in the first place. Why did they send you for that test?

Hello again. Something isn't right here. Dilated cardiomyopathies don't just go away, none of the cardiomyopathies do. I would certainly be looking for a good second opinion preferably from a good children's hospital where there is a good cardiology department. Take care

thankyou for your help my dr is telling me that cardiomyopathy can go on its own my daughter was on alot of medication as she was in heart failure after a year the dr said her heart had a good function and took her of the medication and told me the dilated cardiomyopathy had gone he saw her one more time for a echo with the results above said she was fine and discharged her from cardiac care thanks
