The Restrictive Cardiomyopathies
Cardiology Clinics, 1988In parallel with the rapidly developing interest in the diastolic properties of ventricular function in the 1970s, the restrictive cardiomyopathies have taken their place as the third major category of primary heart muscle disease. The restrictive cardiomyopathies are characterized by primary abnormalities of diastolic ventricular function with normal ...

Diabetic cardiomyopathy as a distinct entity was first recognized by Rubler et al. in diabetics with congestive heart failure (CHF), who had no evidence of coronary atherosclerosis. The Framingham study showed a 2.4-fold increased incidence of CHF in diabetic men and a 5.1-fold increase in diabetic women over 18 years.

To determine the clinical and echocardiographic profiles of women with peripartum cardiomyopathy and ascertain the natural course of the disease.Fifty-six women with peripartum cardiomyopathy were followed up for a mean period of 6.1 years and their clinical and echocardiographic profiles were studied as well as their outcomes.The mean+/-SD age at ...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a very rare, but serious life-threatening emergency. Early recognition of signs and symptoms, along with radiologic imaging and blood work, can facilitate timely diagnosis. Once peripartum cardiomyopathy is diagnosed, a multidisciplinary team can facilitate the delivery of quality care to promote optimal outcomes.

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2008
The troponin complex was discovered over thirty years ago and since then much insight has been gained into how this complex senses fluctuating levels of Ca(2+) and transmits this signal to the myofilament. Advances in genetics methods have allowed identification of mutations that lead to the phenotypically distinct cardiomyopathies: hypertrophic ...

[Cardiomyopathies. I: classification of cardiomyopathies--dilated cardiomyopathy].
Der Internist, 2006Cardiomyopathies 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.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant, cardiovascular disorder that carries the risk of sudden cardiac death. The prevalence of HCM is 1:500 persons. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the pathophysiology, symptoms, complications, diagnostic testing, and treatment.

It is critical that the diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy is limited to women with congestive heart failure and decreased systolic function of the left ventricle in last month of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery. Patients must have no pre-existing cardiac disease and no other cause for current cardiac dysfunction.

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.

European Heart Journal, 1984
On account of the rapidly progressive nature of the disease, the high incidence of systemic embolism and arrhythmias, and the risk of sudden death, dilated cardiomyopathy is inconsistent with aircrew duties. In the small proportion of subjects who apparently make a satisfactory recovery , re-licensing may be considered once there is no requirement for ...
