Abstract
Introduction: Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. In ischemic heart disease, the capability of the coronary heart to pump blood is reduced due to the fact that the principle pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle, is enlarged and dilated. This is due to a loss of blood supply to the heart muscles due to coronary artery disorder. This condition is sometimes referred to as dilated cardiomyopathy.
 Clinical Finding: shortness of breath since 3 months, dry cough, loss of appetite, loss of weight (Weight 50 Kg), lower limb swelling, increased frequency of stools since 3 months.
 Diagnostic Evaluation: chest x-ray right hydropneumothorax, ECG QS complexes in V1, V2, V3, 2 D Echo ejection fraction 15%, all chambers dilated, poor biventricular systolic function, mild mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation.
 USG for liver mild hepatomegaly, USG for thorax gross pleural effusion on right side,
 CECT Abdomen bulky tail of pancreas, right side pleural effusion with collapse of underlying lung.
 Therapeutic Intervention: Patient was treated with diuretics, alpha and beta-blocker, angiotensin receptor, Antibiotic, protein powder and supportive treatment and intercostals chest drainage was done.
 Outcome: pleural tapping was done. Patient general condition was poor with breathlessness.
 Conclusion: This situation indicates the subsequent mental impact at the affected person, as well as on career and family. After getting appropriate treatment patients symptoms relived and the progression of heart failure slowed down.

Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy
Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is most frequent in men aged 35 to 50, women can be affected by the disease
Toxicity caused by alcohol leads to non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy marked by lack of contractile control and myocardial ventricle dilatation
Summary
Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. In ischemic heart disease, the capability of the coronary heart to pump blood is reduced due to the fact that the principle pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle, is enlarged and dilated. In Ischemic heart disease, the capability of the heart to pump blood is reduced due to the fact that the principle pumping chamber of the coronary heart, the left ventricle, is enlarged and dilated This is due to a loss of blood supply to the heart muscle due to coronary artery disorder. Toxicity caused by alcohol leads to non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy marked by lack of contractile control and myocardial ventricle dilatation These effects are combined with a personal history of heavy alcohol consumption as a positive etiology in the absence of coronary heart disease [4]. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic proper ventricular cardiomyopathy are the four essential styles of cardiomyopathy [6]
