The degree of clinical expression of both obstructive and nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is widely variable. Many patients with HCM are asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic. Most patients with mild or moderate HCM respond well to medical therapy, but medical therapy in patients with severe disease is only marginally beneficial.

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.

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.

Abstract The clinical definition of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy. The size and volume of the left ventricle are usually normal or smaller. Most cases are familial disease with autosomal dominant inheritance.

Phaeochromocytoma and cardiomyopathy
Medical Journal of Australia, 1988This case report describes a patient who presented with severe biventricular cardiac failure and shock, whose cardiac function returned to normal after the removal of a noradrenaline-secreting benign phaeochromocytoma. A catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy with cardiogenic shock, rather than catecholamine-mediated peripheral vasoconstriction alone, is

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.

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.

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.

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 (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
