Transcript
Cardiomyopathy
Diseases of the heart muscle
Lots of different types and terms




Enlarged, thinned walled
and ‘baggy’
Thickened walls
Rigid/stiff walls
Combination


Inherited
Acquired


Heart muscle’s ability to act as a pump (the
engine of the body) becomes poor
>>>>>heart failure
Heart failure






Effort intolerance
Breathless
Chest pain
Fatigue
Leg and /or abdominal swelling
Symptoms of congestion- ‘congestive cardiac
failure’



Can lead to rhythm disturbance ( electrical
problems)
Can lead to heart valve problems
Can affect any age, but becomes more common
as you get older
Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Big, baggy heart- ‘low EF%’



- Ischaemic (Coronary artery disease ( plumbing))
-Burnt out hypertension
- Familial /inherited
- Alcohol cardiomyopathy
- Post viral (myocarditis)
- Unknown (idiopathic)
- Pregnancy related (peripartum)
- due to rhythm disturbance (tachycardia mediated)
- due to severe heart valve problem
- due to chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- dysynchrony
OMT- Optimal medical therapy




ACE I/ ARB
BB
MRA
Water tablets
Disease specific treatment

Revascularization- controversial
Valve surgery
Reduce alcohol
Control heart rhythm problem

More later with stiff and thick hearts!



Hypertrophic cardiomyoathy






Thickened heart wall- very thick to very minor
thickening- often asymmetric
Abnormal ECG
Inherited, but can ‘pretend’ to skip generations
1:500
High blood pressure can ‘mimic’
Lots of other rare mimics
Stiff hearts







High blood pressure
Type II diabetes
Amyloid
Haemochromatosis
Sarcoidosis
Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy
Radiotherapy
Right sided heart failure





As a consequence to left sided heart failure
As a consequence to chronic lung disease- Cor
Pulmonale
ARVC- arrhythmogenic right ventricular
dysplasia
Non –compaction
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy- broken heart
syndrome
Prevention/ risk factors
