Review
May aid primary care recognition of cardiomyopathy subtypes; leaves open need for implementation studies.
Cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disorder that cannot be attributed to ischemic heart disease or abnormal loading conditions such as hypertension and valvular heart disease. It can lead to the development of arrhythmia and heart failure, and is also the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people. Early detection is vital for delaying or preventing complications. This review discusses the four major subtypes, i.e. hypertrophic, dilated, restricted, and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, which are likely to be encountered in primary care.
