Demons-Meigs syndrome or cardiomyopathy: a difficult case of a differential diagnosis
https://doi.org/10.18087/10.18087/cardio.n447
Abstract
The article presents an overview of the data related to Demons–Meigs syndrome and the clinical situation associated with a complex differential diagnosis between myocarditis with the formation of secondary cardiomyopathy and Demons–Meigs syndrome. A variety of clinical symptom complexes that are associated with Demons–Meigs syndrome is discussed. The concepts of classical and non-classical, full and incomplete Demons–Meigs syndrome are considered. The current views on the pathogenesis of the syndrome and the mechanism of the formation of ascites and pleural effusion are given.
