Takotsubo is not a cardiomyopathy [PDF]
International Journal of Cardiology, 2018 Unraveling the mechanisms underlying Takotsubo (TTS) leads to question the current inclusion of the condition within the spectrum of cardiomyopathies. Indeed, the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of TTS clearly differ from cardiomyopathies, i.e.

CARDIOMYOPATHY: The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Heart, 2001 Although the pathology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was first described by French pathologists in the mid 19th century, it remained for the virtually simultaneous reports of Brock and Teare in England some 43 years ago to bring modern attention to this fascinating entity.1 2 Subsequent to these surgical1 and pathological2 observations, there ...

CARDIOMYOPATHY: The cardiomyopathies: an overview [PDF]
Heart, 2000 The recent revision (table 1) of the definition of a cardiomyopathy by the World Health Organization1 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

Clinical medicine. Cardiology, 2009 Background Due to the rise in the number of reports of stress cardiomyopathy in the literature, awareness of this condition is increasing. Although different names have been used to describe this condition, the similarities in clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and angiographic features suggest that they represent the same spectrum of ...

Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathies [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016 Mitochondria are found in all nucleated human cells and perform various essential functions, including the generation of cellular energy. Mitochondria are under dual genome control. Only a small fraction of their proteins are encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), whereas more than 99% of them are encoded by nuclear DNA (nDNA).

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010 Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a clinical syndrome in patients with liver cirrhosis characterized by an abnormal and blunted response to physiologic, pathologic, or pharmacologic stress but normal to increased cardiac output and contractility at rest. As many as 50% of cirrhotic patients undergoing liver transplantation show signs of cardiac dysfunction ...

Cardiomyopathies in the elderly [PDF]
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1987 Cardiomyopathies in the elderly have certain characteristic features. The dilated form appears to be less common than in younger patients. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is more often associated with severe and concentric hypertrophy. The prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy seems to be better in the elderly, because they appear to have a lower ...
