Focus on Paediatric Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: Frequently Asked Questions [PDF]
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is characterized by restrictive ventricular pathophysiology determined by increased myocardial stiffness. While suspicion of RCM is initially raised by clinical evaluation and supported by electrocardiographic and ...

Pediatric restrictive cardiomyopathy: a case report [PDF]
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare childhood cardiomyopathy that is a challenging diagnostic problem for clinicians. We describe a case of an 8-year-old girl with a 2-year history of shortness of breath on exertion.

Case Report: Filamin C gene mutation associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy leading to heart transplantation [PDF]
BackgroundCardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the myocardium and can be classified as dilated, restrictive, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Among the subtypes, restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by restriction of ventricular filling and its

Prognosis of pediatric restrictive cardiomyopathy: more severe in sarcomeric variants [PDF]
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the most severe type of cardiomyopathy in children with a very poor prognosis. RCM is often diagnosed between 6 and 10 years old and is predominantly of genetic origin. We conducted a retrospective study of 53 patients.

Early-onset restrictive cardiomyopathy with life-threatening arrhythmia caused by a homozygous desmin mutation: a case report [PDF]
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare cardiac disease characterized by the predominance of severe diastolic dysfunction, normal or mildly increased ventricular wall thickness, and either normal or mildly reduced ejection fraction.

Pediatric Restrictive Cardiomyopathies [PDF]
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least frequent phenotype among pediatric heart muscle diseases, representing only 2.5–3% of all cardiomyopathies diagnosed during childhood. Pediatric RCM has a poor prognosis, high incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH), thromboembolic events, and sudden death, is less amenable to medical or surgical treatment

Restrictive cardiomyopathy: from genetics and clinical overview to animal modeling
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), a potentially devastating heart muscle disorder, is characterized by diastolic dysfunction due to abnormal muscle relaxation and myocardial stiffness resulting in restrictive filling of the ventricles.

Multimodality Imaging Clues for Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is an entity that can be mistaken for several mimicking conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These patients present with heart failure, which is essentially due to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, with ...

Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design [PDF]
Observational studies are the basis for much of our knowledge of veterinary pathology and are highly relevant to the daily practice of pathology. However, recommendations for conducting pathology-based observational studies are not readily available.

Restrictive cardiomyopathies [PDF]
Restrictive cardiomyopathies constitute a heterogenous group of heart muscle conditions that all have, in common, the symptoms of heart failure. Diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic function is often the only echocardiographic abnormality that may be noted, although systolic dysfunction may also be an integral part of some specific pathologies,
