S2 L3.3: Cardiomyopathy Flashcards
This is a form of heart failure that is dependent on the etiology.
Cardiomyopathy
This disease of heart muscles that result from a myriad of insults such as: (3)
○ Genetic defects
○ Cardiac myocyte injury
○ Infiltration of myocardial tissues
Heart chambers “get huge” or “balloon out”
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Muscles of the heart/Myocardium become thick; reducing the chamber size of the ventricles
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Looks normal but the problem is in the function, not its structure
Muscles are stiff, unable to relax, dilate, and contract
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Common causes of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Ischemia and HTN
Statement 1: In dilated cardiomypathy, there is enlargement of one or both of the ventricles and systolic dysfunction
Statement 2: Uncommon for chamber enlargement to precede signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure
