Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Abstract
Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is a primary myocardial disease of unknown cause characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilatation and impaired myocardial contractility1. Depending on the diagnostic criteria used, the reported annual incidence varies between 5 and 8 cases per 100,000 population25. However, the true incidence is probably underestimated by those figures, since many asymptomatic cases remain unrecognized. The age-adjusted prevalence of IDC in the United States averages 36 cases per 100,000 population,5 and it accounts for 10,000 deaths annually2.Blacks and males have a 2.5-fold increase in risk, as compared with whites and females, that . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
