1. There are 3 forms of cardiomyopathy; dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive.
2. Risk factors for cardiomyopathy include hypertension, pregnancy, viral infections, and
alcohol use.
3. Dilated cardiomyopathy primarily affects systolic function and is caused by extensively
damaged myocardial muscle fibers.
4. Signs and symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy include orthopnea, dysobea, fatigue,
peripheral edema, jugular vein distention, tachycardia, and pansystolic heart murmur.
5. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy primarily affects diastolic function.
6. Signs and symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy include sudden cardiac death,
angina, dyspnea, fatigue, atrial fibrillation, and systolic ejection murmur.
7. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by stiffness of the ventricle caused by left
ventricular hypertrophy and endocardial fibrosis and thickening.
8. Signs and symptoms of restrictive cardiomyopathy include dyspnea, chest pain, edema,
peripheral cyanosis and S3 and S4 gallop rhythms.
9. Tests of cardiomyopathy includes echocardiography, chest x-ray, and cardiac
catheterization with possible heart biopsy.
