Cardiomyopathies: diagnosis of types and stages Nigro G; Comi LI; Nigro G; Palladino A; Petretta VR; Politano LActa Myol 2004[Sep]; 23 (2): 97-102Primary cardiomyopathies have as dominant feature the involvement of heart muscle itself. They are not the result of other diseases and should be defined as diseases of heart muscle not consequent to disorders of other parts of the cardiovascular apparatus. Most of them are consequent to genetic defects and can be subdivided into three major groups: isolated, associated with skeletal muscle diseases, associated with neurological disorders. Primary cardiomyopathies show an evolution from mild to more severe stages. Four types of cardiomyopathies are classically described: dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive and arrhythmogenic. However, from a clinical point of view, it is possible to distinguish seven stages: pre-clinical, prevalently arrhythmogenic, prevalently pseudo-hypertrophic, spotty fibrotic, restrictive, dilated and refractory heart failure. In the course of their evolution, cardiomyopathies can shift from a clinical picture to another, consequently requiring frequent examinations of patients in order to adjust their treatment.|Cardiomyopathies/*classification/*diagnosis[MESH]|Comorbidity[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Humans[MESH] |
