Abstract
|
|
|
The cardiomyopathies are diseases involving the myocardium primarily, not as the result of hypertension or of congenital, valvular, coronary, arterial, or pericardial abnormalities.
Cardiomyopathies are now considered in three major groups based on abnormalities of structure and function: dilated, hypertrophic and restrictive.
Dilative cardiomyopathy is the most common of the cardiomyopathies.
The striking features are cardiomegaly with dilatation of both ventricles, impairement of systolic function, and increased myocardial mass.
The dilatation is more impressive than the hypertrophy, and the disease characteristically affects both ventricles.
