Overview

Understanding cardiomyopathy.

Cardiomyopathy encompasses diseases of the heart muscle that impair its ability to pump blood effectively. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) involves ventricular enlargement and weakening, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) involves abnormal thickening, and restrictive cardiomyopathy involves stiffening of the heart wall.

Why It Matters

Why you need a second opinion.

Each type of cardiomyopathy has different treatment algorithms and surgical options. HCM may benefit from septal myectomy, DCM may require LVAD or transplant evaluation, and the diagnosis itself may change management. Genetic testing implications for family members add another layer of complexity.

Critical Decisions

Key decisions for cardiomyopathy.

Accurate diagnosis and classification
HCM: septal myectomy vs alcohol septal ablation
DCM: reversible causes workup and advanced therapy timing
Genetic testing and family screening implications
Device therapy (ICD, CRT) candidacy
