The article presents a case study of a 12-year-old female with symptoms of chest tightness, fatigue, and abdominal distension of unknown origin. The patient was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy characterized by biatrial and right ventricular enlargement, biv...
Cardiovascular Alterations: A Case Study Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease that causes the heart muscle to become thickened (Maron, 2015). According to the Mayo Clinic (n.d.), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder; however, environmental or lifestyle factors may influence ...
This lesson defines restrictive cardiomyopathy. You'll learn exactly what happens during this disease, what its causes might be, as well as some...
Doppler echocardiographic study was used as a main modality of diagnosis and cardiac catheterization confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy. We express the contribution of clinical findings and appropriate diagnostic measures in approaching a case of Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM)....
A 44-year-old woman with restrictive cardiomyopathy showed right-sided dominant heart failure after conversion to sinus rhythm from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). During cardiac catheterization, the hemodynamics were compared before and after cardioversion; that is, with AF and with sinus rhythm....

Finally, in case of suspected iron overload cardiomyopathy (IOC)-specific gradient echo sequences designed to measure T2* relaxation time should be incorporated into the CMR protocol in order to detect the excessive myocardial iron deposition (see specific section). ...
Differentiation of constrictive pericarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy: assessment of left ventricular diastolic velocities in longitudinal axis by D... We sought to determine the utility of left ventricular expansion velocities in differentiating constrictive pericarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy. S....
