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.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2010
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a myocardial disease characterized by myocardial hypertrophy, disorganization of cardiac myocytes, and fibrosis. Twenty-five percent of patients have a dynamic left ventricular outflow tract gradient caused by the combined effects of rapid ventricular ejection, a narrowed outflow tract, and systolic anterior motion of the

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Future Cardiology, 2007
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a disease in which patients present with signs and symptoms mimicking an acute coronary syndrome and, thus, undergo cardiac catheterization. At the time of catheterization, however, no critical coronary lesions are found.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Cardiology Clinics, 1988
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a diverse clinical and pathophysiologic disorder of unknown cause that principally involves the left ventricle and is manifested as asymmetric or concentric hypertrophy. If asymmetric, the hypertrophy is usually greatest in the ventricular septum, but variations occur in which the hypertrophy may be maximal at the mid ...

Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

Postgraduate Medicine, 2008
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare, idiopathic, life-threatening disease of late pregnancy and early puerperium, occurring in patients with previously healthy hearts. Risk factors include multiparity, age>30 years, African American race, multiple pregnancies, obesity, hypertension, and toxemia. Signs and symptoms of PPCM resemble systolic heart

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Diabetes Care, 1990
The purpose of this article was to review the clinical and experimental features of diabetic cardiomyopathy, with particular relevance to the Black population. One hundred thirty-seven studies were identified, of which 57 were selected as references for this article. Diabetes is associated with the development of cardiomyopathy, independent of coronary

[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.

[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.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2009
According to current definition, peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare disorder in which left ventricular dysfunction and symptoms of heart failure occur in the last month of pregnancy. It has been reported that the incidence of PPCM is 1 in 3,000-4,000 live births.

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.
