Definitions

A cardiomyopathy is defined as ‘a myocardial disorder in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal, in the absence of coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, valvular disease, and congenital heart disease (CHD) sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality’

Dilated cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as the presence of LV dilatation and global or regional systolic dysfunction unexplained solely by abnormal loading conditions (e.g. hypertension, valve disease, CHD or CAD).

Worked example of the non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy phenotype

ACM, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy; ALVC, arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; DSP, desmoplakin; ECG, electrocardiogram; EF, ejection fraction; LV, left ventricular; NDLVC, non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy; SCD, sudden cardiac death; VE, ventricular extrasystole. Worked example of the NDLVC phenotype showing how a systematic multiparametric approach to clinical phenotyping, starting from the recognition of a clinical phenotype and integrating extended phenotypic information and targeted diagnostics, including genetic testing, can be used to arrive at highly specific phenotypic descriptions that can result in personalized treatment plans. In this worked example, the diagnosis transforms from a simplistic categorization to a complex genetic disorder characterized by myocardial scar and a propensity to ventricular arrhythmia.
