Peripartum cardiomyopathy

American Heart Journal, 1995
Congestive heart failure is an uncommon complication of pregnancy with potentially life-threatening consequences. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a disease of unknown cause in which severe left ventricular dysfunction occurs during late pregnancy or the early puerperium.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy

American Heart Journal, 1989
Diabetes mellitus is associated with an excessive cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although one frequently associates cardiac dysfunction with enhanced coronary atherosclerosis in diabetic patients, evidence has accumulated for the existence of a specific "diabetic" cardiomyopathy.

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2007
Decompensated liver cirrhosis is characterized by a peripheral vasodilation with a low-resistance hyperdynamic circulation. The sustained increase of cardiac work load associated with such a condition may result in an inconstant and often subclinical series of heart abnormalities, constituting a new clinical entity known as "cirrhotic cardiomyopathy ...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy

The Lancet, 2006
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a disorder in which initial left ventricular systolic dysfunction and symptoms of heart failure occur between the late stages of pregnancy and the early postpartum period. It is common in some countries and rare in others. The causes and pathogenesis are poorly understood. Molecular markers of an inflammatory process

[Cardiomyopathies. I: classification of cardiomyopathies--dilated cardiomyopathy].

Der Internist, 2006
Cardiomyopathies are common causes of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. According to the WHO classification, "specific" cardiomyopathies are differentiated from "idiopathic" cardiomyopathies. Thus, this classification is primarily based on pathophysiological characteristics.

Senile Cardiomyopathy

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1982
The literature on senile cardiomyopathy is selectively reviewed, information gained from the observation of more than 14,000 hearts at autopsy is presented, and suggestions for management of senile cardiomyopathy are given.

Parasitic cardiomyopathies

Infection, 1976
Fifty-one parasitic cardiomyopathies studied for periods ranging from 1 to 14 years were analyzed. In 32 cases chagasic etiology was demonstrated and in 19 cases toxoplasmic etiology. In the chagasic cases the diagnosis was confirmed by serological study and/or xenodiagnosis.

Treatment of the cardiomyopathies

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1973
The cardiomyopathies are defined as disorders of heart muscle of unknown cause and divided into three pathophysiologic groups: hypertrophic (obstructive) (synonymous with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis), congestive and obliterative . Treatment is directed toward improvement in ventricular relaxation and compliance and removal of the ...

[Cardiomyopathies II. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy].

Der Internist, 2006
This review focuses on hypertrophic (HCM), restrictive (RCM) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies (ARVC). The clinical phenotype of HCM depends not only on the gene mutations involved, but also on "modifier genes". It is characterized by an asymmetrical hypertrophy.
