Two cardiomyopathy phenotypes were identified: one with small hearts and moderate perfusion impairment, the other with large hypertrophic hearts and markedly reduced perfusion.
Metabolic cardiomyopathy can be classified into two distinct phenotypes based on cardiovascular traits, suggesting potential differences in prognosis and treatment.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Two distinct types of cardiomyopathies were identified. The majority exhibited small left hearts with only moderate impairment in myocardial perfusion ratio. However, when stiff conductance arteries were present, cardiomyopathy with larger and eccentrically hypertrophic left ventricles and markedly reduced myocardial perfusion ratio was observed. Future research should seek to determine if these two phenotypes carry independent prognostic implications and should be treated differently.
Lav et al. (Fri,) reported a other. Two cardiomyopathy phenotypes were identified: one with small hearts and moderate perfusion impairment, the other with large hypertrophic hearts and markedly reduced perfusion.
