Hypertrophic epidemiology
1/500 (2:1 M:F);
most common cause of sudden death in young athletes
Amyloid epidemiology
2.5% of cardiomyopathy cases, usually in older adults
Sarcoid epidemiology
10 x more common in African- Americans
idiopathic dilated epidemiology
Not common;
Not rare
Hypertrophic features
Genetic diseases of contractile proteins;
Feature in common: compensatory hypertrophy
Amyloid features
Abnormal protein deposition; Congo red stain positive
Sarcoid features
Noncaseating granulomas; commonly involves base of heart and conduction system
idiopathic dilated features
Dilated left ventricle with no cause evident
Hypertrophic Clinical Features
Asymmetric hypertrophy of septum;
Dyspnea, angina, syncope or sudden death
Amyloid Clinical Features
Multiorgan or limited to heart
Sarcoid Clinical Features
Multiorgan inflammatory disease;
Syncope or sudden death due to arrhythmias
idiopathic dilated Clinical Features
Nonspecific signs and symptoms of heart failure;
Diagnosis of exclusion
Hypertrophic Notable Treatment
NO sports;
(Alcohol injection to infarct part of septum if have subaortic obstruction)
Amyloid Notable Treatment
Transplantation
