Dilated cardiomyopathy in infants could potentially be secondary to
structural heart diseases such as LV outflow obstruction and ALCAPA.
These conditions can be diagnosed by a dedicated echocardiogram. When
such an evaluation was not possible, a postmortem echocardiogram could
potentially provide clues about the possibility of a structural heart
disease
