It is not unusual for patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy to have atypical chest pain syndromes, which should be evaluated for ischemia using the electrocardiogram and cardiac enzymes [i.e., troponin and creatine phosphokinase (CPK)]. The characteristic finding on echocardiogram is an increased ...
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is diagnosed based on medical history (your symptoms and family history), physical exam, and tests: such as blood tests, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, exercise stress test, cardiac catheterization, CT scan, and MRI. A myocardial biopsy, or biopsy of the...
An echocardiogram is a type of ultrasound. Sound waves are used to show the structure and function of your heart. X-ray, CT, or MRI pictures will show the size of your heart and ventricles. These tests can also check if you have fluid or buildup around your heart or lungs. You may ...
A 34-year-old lady presented with features of congestive cardiac failure, and evaluation showed infiltrative restrictive cardiomyopathy. Endomyocardial biopsy showed deposition of amyloid fibrils, which ultimately led to the diagnosis of free light chain deposition disorder secondary to plasma cell myeloma ...

In a study performed on 123 patients, nT1 distinguished AFD from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and healthy controls (sensitivity 88% and 88%, specificity 92% and 86%, respectively) using a cutoff value of 940 ms on a 1.5 T scanner and modified lock–locker inversion (MOLLI) recovery sequ...

To characterize the idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) through clinical manifestations and complementary tests and to analyze the surgical benefit on the correction of tricuspid regurgitation.Five patients with RCM idiopathic were retrospectively studied, 4 female and 1 male, with ages ranging from...
To describe the clinical course and outcome of children with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy (IRCM) and to present the Doppler echocardiographic features of this disease in childhood. We reviewed the Mayo Clinic patient database for the period from 1975 to 1993 to identify children who underwent...
However, a growing percentage of elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction are being recognized as having forms of restrictive cardiomyopathy, particularly cardiac amyloidosis. Noninvasive evaluation has replaced endomyocardial biopsy in the diagnostic evaluation of most suspected ...
