Abstract  【Objective】To investigate the clinical efficacy of levocarnitine combined with trimetazidine in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and its impact on patients' cardiac function. 【Methods】A total of 102 DCM patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (treated with trimetazidine in addition to conventional medication) and an observation group (treated with levocarnitine in addition to the control group) using a random number table method, with 51 patients in each group. Two groups of therapeutic effects were compared, including pre-and post-treatment cardiac function indicators such as cardiac index (CI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), laboratory indicators such as periostin protein, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), soluble growth stimulating gene 2 protein (sST2), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), and myoglobin (Mb). 【Results】The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the CI and LVEF of both groups were higher than before treatment, and the observation group was higher than the control group; The LVEDD of both groups was lower than before treatment, and the observation group was lower than the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After treatment, cTnT, CK-MB, Mb, Periostin protein, TGF-β1, and sST2 in both groups were lower than before treatment, and the observation group was lower than the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】The combination of levocarnitine and trimetazidine is effective in treating DCM patients, improving their cardiac function and inhibiting ventricular remodeling.
