Key result
Multimodal imaging and genetic testing optimize accurate diagnosis and classification of pediatric cardiomyopathies.
Why the study?
Primary cardiomyopathies in childhood are a serious cause of pediatric heart failure and heart transplantation, while diagnostic methods have recently advanced from traditional clinical imaging to new genetic and imaging techniques.
This review highlights the importance of multimodal imaging and genetic testing in the diagnosis and management of pediatric primary cardiomyopathies.
Supports multimodal imaging and genetic testing in childhood cardiomyopathies; extends classifications but leaves optimal integration open for prospective validation.
Primary cardiomyopathies in childhood are a rare but serious disease that is a common cause of heart failure and the most common reason for heart transplantation in children over one year of age. Over the past decades, the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy has advanced from traditional clinical imaging methods to new genetic and imaging techniques. The article presents a review of the literature data on the modern classification of primary pediatric cardiomyopathies and the features of the clinical course and imaging, which is an integral part of the diagnosis based on the primary morphofunctional phenotype.
