Cardiomyopathies Flashcards
Dilated CM = ___ dysfunction
Systolic
Ventricular dilation –> dilated, weak heart
Diastolic dysfunction w/ preserved contractility
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Diastolic dysfunction d/t impaired ventricular relaxation/filling
Hypertrophic CM
Subaortic outflow obstruction d/t hypertrophic septum
Hypertrophic CM
Systolic anterior motion of mitral valve in ___ CM
Increases w/ (increased/decreased) contractility and (increased/decreased) LV volume
Hypertrophic
Increases w/ INCREASED contractility (exertion) and DECREASED LV volume (dehydration)
Alcoholics
Dilated CM
MC cause of restrictive CM
amyloidosis
Etiology of hypertrophic CM
inherited genetic d/o
Viral myocarditis causes ___CM
MC pathogen:
Dilated CM
Enteroviruses (Coxsackie B, echovirus)
Also: Parvovirus B-19, Chagas, HIV
(Right/left) sided failure more common than (right/left) sided failure in restrictive CM
Right MC than Left
Harsh systolic cres-decresc murmur @ LUSB like in AS (with/without) carotid radiation
Hypertrophic CM
NO carotid radiation
Ventricles nondilated w/ normal wall thickness
Restrictive CM
Marked dilation of both atria
Restrictive CM
Tx of dilated cardiomyopathy
Systolic HF tx: ACEI, diuretics, digoxin, BB, Na-restriction
Tx of restrictive CM
None
Tx underlying cause
