Overview
Classification
Cardimyopathy as a general topic also includes topics such as restrictive cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This section will focus on dilated cardiomyopathy. There is sometimes confusion regarding nomenclature, some of this confusion is based on different classifications set forth by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the AHA (American Heart Association). The WHO classifies cardiomyopathy as either Dilated (DCM), Restrictive (RCM), or Hypertrophic (HCM). The American Heart Association classifies cardiomyopathies as either "primary" or "secondary."
