× To share and enhance best practice management of CML, experts and interested clinicians can discuss difficult or interesting CML cases here. Physicians submit a brief history of the patient and the case for discussion (no more than 200 words) by posting it in this forum ("New Discussion" button below). Please include the country of origin.

Each clinical case will be forwarded to the expert clinical panel for a brief independent response. Consideration should be given to patient confidentiality. Details that are not critical to the case can be changed to preserve anonymity. Please consider including your email with the case. This will not be posted on the website, but is useful should further details be requested by the moderator.

As a full clinical history is necessary for accurate comment, cases and comments on the Forum are ONLY ACCEPTED FROM PHYSICIANS. If individual patients have a specific question we encourage them to contact their healthcare provider. General questions can be emailed to info@cml-foundation.org.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy, medications was created by Prakash Chitalkar
I have a 53 year old house wife who has been diagnosed with chronic pahse CML in June 2010.
She has been under cardiology care since 2006 for dilated cardiomyopathy.
She has a pacemaker and is on Ramipril 5 mg twice a day with amiodarone 200 mg per day.
She achieved complete hematological remission by September 2010.
Her compliance has been confirmed.
Her bcr-abl/abl transcript ratio in December 2010 was 89% (repeat value 91%)
Is there a known interaction between the cardiac medication and imatinib?
