The possible use of antiviral agents in the future is commented upon, and cardiac transplantation is emphasised as the most effective, although radical, means of improving prognosis in intractable cases. In restrictive cardiomyopathy due to endomyocardial fibrosis, treatment of the initial inflammatory ...
BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is clinically defined as unexplained myocardial hypertrophy, and it is an autosomal dominant disease of the cardiac sarcomere. It is present in 1 in 500 in the general adult population, making it the most common genetic cardiovascular disease. The pathoph...
CardiomyopathyGuidelinesEuropean Society of CardiologyThe first European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on the management of cardiomyopathies (CMPs), published 1 year ago, remain highly relevant. These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework to manage the complexity of CMPs, consolidating ...
Several recognized myocardial disorders are associated with diastolic dysfunction, including restrictive cardiomyopathy, obstructive and nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and infiltrative cardiomyopathies. However, the vast majority of patients who present with HF and normal systolic function do not ...

Annual and 5-year mortality rates for the most common chronic diseases that impact survival of the general population as of 2017. Reproduced with permission from Maron et al.14 ALS = amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ESRD = end-stage renal disease; HCM = hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Recognition of ...

Echocardiography is routinely performed to assess for cardiac involvement, looking for evidence of left ventricular and/or right ventricular apical obliteration or thrombi or a restrictive cardiomyopathy. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and CT are often useful adjuncts to establish the diagnosis but ...
AMI = acute myocardial infarction; AV = atrioventricular; CM = cardiomyopathy; CS = cardiogenic shock; LV = left ventricle; LVFWR = left ventricular free wall rupture; RV = right ventricle. Although the inciting causes of CS may differ, the resultant pathophysiologic features of CS center ...
Loss of atrial contraction may markedly decrease cardiac output, especially when diastolic ventricular filling is impaired by mitral stenosis, hypertension, HCM, or restrictive cardiomyopathy. Myocardial contractility is not constant during AF because of force–interval relationships associated with variations ...
