Supports clinical differentiation of cardiomyopathies into three types; leaves open molecular and imaging refinement.
Cardiomyopathy has been defined as "a subacute or chronic disorder of heart muscle of un- known or obscure etiology, often with associated endocardial, and sometimes with pericardial, involvement, but not atherosclerotic in origin". Using this definition a differentiation of chronic cardiomyopathies into three types has been made on clinical grounds (Goodwin et al., 1961).
