Abstract
The concept of primary myocardial disease was first suggested in the late 19th century by Krehl, who described several cases of “chronic myocarditis” in which autopsied hearts demonstrated myocardial degeneration, hypertrophy, and inflammation.1 The term “primary myocardial disease” was coined by Josserand and Gallavardin at the beginning of this century.2 But it was not until 1957 that the introduction of the term “cardiomyopathy,” by Brigden, was used to describe myocardial disease of unknown etiology and in the absence of coronary disease.3 Subsequently, in 1968 the terminology was specifically defined by the World Health Organization as myocardial disease excluding vascular, hypertension, and valvular disease. It was further broken down into “primary” and “secondary” cardiomyopathy depending on unknown or known etiologies, respectively.4
