Study Notes
Heart Disease and Cardiomyopathy
- Heart disease associated with cardiac dysfunction is cardiomyopathy.
- Cardiomyopathy is characterized by abnormalities of the heart muscle, including:
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Classification of Cardiomyopathies
- The primary classification of cardiomyopathies focuses on the heart muscle and includes:
- Genetic types
- Nongenetic types
- Acquired types
Secondary Cardiomyopathies
- Secondary cardiomyopathies show myocardial involvement secondary to the influence of a vast list of disease processes.
Contemporary Classification
- The contemporary classification of cardiomyopathies is based on predominant organ involvement.
