CARDIOMYOPATHY: The cardiomyopathies: an overview

The cardiomyopathies: an overview.

nition of a cardiomyopathy by the World Health Organization recognises that ventricular dysfunction can result from a failure to correct volume or pressure overload in valve disease or to control hypertension. Loss of myocardium caused by coronary artery disease also leads to severe ventricular dysfunction. All of these end stage conditions are categorised as specific cardiomyopathies. The seco...

Cardiomyopathy – An Overview

Cardiomyopathy: an overview.

Cardiomyopathy is an anatomic and pathologic diagnosis associated with muscle or electrical dysfunction of the heart. Cardiomyopathies represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that often lead to progressive heart failure with significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiomyopathies may be primary (i.e., genetic, mixed, or acquired) or secondary (e.g., infiltrative, toxic, inflammatory). Major t...

Imaging phenotype vs genotype in nonhypertrophic heritable cardiomyopathies: dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Advances in cardiovascular imaging increasingly afford unique insights into heritable myocardial disease. Because the clinical presentation of genetic cardiomyopathies may range from nonspecific symptoms to sudden cardiac death, an accurate diagnosis has implications for individual patients as well as related family members. The initial consideration of genetic cardiomyopathy may occur in the i...
