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.

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.

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 ...

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.

The Lancet, 2006
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

This article focuses on advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Patients with diabetes are at an elevated risk for heart failure, and comorbid heart failure confers an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

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 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
