Children with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy have a poor prognosis without transplantation, with a 5-year survival of 39%; higher filling pressures and LA:Ao ratio predict shorter survival.

Children with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy have a poor prognosis without transplantation, with higher cardiac filling pressures and LA:Ao ratio predicting shorter survival.
Linda Russo (2005) conducted a cohort in Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy (n=21). Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy was evaluated on Survival without transplantation. Children with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy have a poor prognosis without transplantation, with a 5-year survival of 39%; higher filling pressures and LA:Ao ratio predict shorter survival.
