Echocardiography remains the corner stone for establishing the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, mainly by assessing the systolic and diastolic dysfunction, cardiac chamber diameters and wall thickness as well as valvular diseases. Echocardiography is usually the first diagnostic imaging tool to diagnose cardiomyopathy, although differentiating the cause of the cardiomyopathy based on echocardiography assessment might be difficult in some cases; advanced cardiac imaging, genetic testing and/or biopsy might be needed in some of these cases. | |||
