Abstract
Cardiomyopathies are generally classified according to clinical and anatomic features, using an adjective to distinguish them. Thus, dilated (congestive) cardiomyopathy (DCM) indicates enlargement of the cardiac chambers with poor contractility and heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy implies hypertrophy of the ventricular septum in the setting of normal (or even increased) contractility, and restrictive cardiomyopathy denotes impaired compliance of the ventricles due to myocardial stiffness.
