Cardiomyopathy
2
restrictive
LV dysfunction 2° to MI often termed "ischemic
obesity.
Etiology
• Idiopathic (presumed viral or idiopathic) - 50% of DCM
• Alcohol
• Familial/ genetic
• Uncontrolled tachycardia (e.g. persistent rapid AF) referred to as
tachycardiomyopathy
• Collagen vascular disease: SLE, polyarteritis nodosa, dermatomyositis,
progressive systemic sclerosis 7/11/20 03:11 AM

• Sudden death (major cause of mortality due to fatal

Prognosis
9
Depends on etiology
Better with reversible underlying cause, worst with
infiltrative diseases, HIV, drug-induced
Cause of death usually CHF (due to pump failure)
or sudden death 2° to ventricular arrhythmias
Systemic emboli are significant source of morbidity
20% mortality in 1st yr, 10% per yr after

Signs and Symptoms

Clinical manifestations: asymptomatic (common,
therefore screening is important),
SOB on exertion, angina, presyncope/syncope (due to
measurement
• Cardiac catheterization (only when patient being
considered for invasive therapy)

Management

Patients with drug-refractory symptoms
18
• Surgical myectomy
• Septal ethanol ablation
• Dual chamber pacing / ICD
• Treatment of ventricular arrhythmias: amiodarone or
lCD
• First-degree relatives of patients with HCM should be
screened annually during adolescence
(physical, ECG, 2D echo), then serially every 5 yrs
during adulthood

Prognosis

death include;
• syncope (presumed to be arrhythmic in origin)
• non-sustained VT on ambulatory monitoring
• marked ventricular hypertrophy (maximum wall thickness ~30
mm)
• abnormal BP in response to exercise (in young patients with
