Classifications of heart muscle diseases have proved to be exceedingly complex and in many respects contradictory. Indeed, the precise language used to describe these diseases is profoundly important.

In this chapter, we will classify and describe cardiomyopathies according to their morphofunctional phenotype, providing information about their etiology and physiopathology. We will highlight the role of pathology in the diagnostic flowchart, providing input on the utility of the cardiac biopsy for specific disease. We will provide guidance for tissue

Nursing Standard, 2004
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. There are four main types of cardiomyopathy and each can affect people differently. This article discusses the signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment for the different types of the disease, the importance of genetic screening and risk stratification, and the nurse'a role in patient management.

Cardiology in the Young, 1977
AbstractHypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common, inherited heart disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation and natural history. Recently, advances in diagnosis and treatment options have been instrumental in decreasing the frequency of adverse clinical events; however, complete elimination of sudden cardiac death still remains an elusive gain.

Classification of cardiomyopathies
2018For over 50 years, the definition and classification of cardiomyopathies have remained anchored in the concept of ventricular dysfunction and myocardial structural remodelling due to unknown cause. The concept of idiopathic was first challenged in 2006, when the American Heart Association classification subordinated the phenotype to the aetiology ...

The Lancet, 1998
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common genetically transmitted disease, defined clinically by the presence of unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy. The disease has a varied clinical course and outcome; many patients have little or no discernible cardiovascular symptoms, whereas others have profound exercise limitation and recurrent arrhythmias ...

The aims of this article are to present the main features of MRI of cardiomyopathy and to show selected images of cardiomyopathies.Cardiomyopathy is a frequent reason for cardiac MRI evaluation, which is now considered the most appropriate imaging technique for the diagnosis and follow-up of this wide range of myocardial diseases.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy has been defined as "a distinct entity characterized by the presence of abnormal myocardial performance or structure in the absence of epicardial coronary artery disease, hypertension, and significant valvular disease". The diagnosis stems from the detection of myocardial abnormalities and the exclusion of other contributory ...

Cardiomyopathy is defined as primary myocardial dysfunction which is not due to hypertensive, valvular, congenital, coronary or pulmonary vascular disease. This term usually denotes a dismal prognosis short of cardiac transplantation. However, several organic diseases of the heart can result in right or left ventricular dysfunction resulting in ...
