Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a type of cardiomyopathy defined by left ventricular hypertrophy which cannot otherwise be explained by another cardiac or systemic disease. It is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in infants, teenagers, and young adults.
Terminology
Although hypert...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy diagnostic criteria
For the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) to be made, patients must have either two major criteria, one major and two minor criteria, or four minor criteria.
Major criteria

Non-compaction of the left ventricle
Non-compaction of the left ventricle, also known as spongiform cardiomyopathy or left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a phenotype of hypertrophic ventricular trabeculations and deep interventricular recesses. It has been hypothesized to result from the arrest of normal myocardial compaction...

Myocarditis
Myocarditis (rare plural: myocarditides) is a general term referring to inflammation of the myocardium.
Diagnosis
Endomyocardial biopsy is considered the gold standard of diagnosis, although it is subject to sampling error and there is a risk of perforation or tamponade. It is graded according...

Stunned myocardium
Stunned myocardium refers to a situation in which an acute transient myocardial ischemic event results in a prolonged wall motion abnormality which eventually resolves.
The term is usually distinguished from "hibernating" myocardium, in which a chronic ischemic process leads to chronic left ven...

Athlete heart syndrome
Athlete heart syndrome refers to adaptations in both cardiac structure and function seen in people engaged in high-performance and endurance physical exercise.
Epidemiology
The prevalence of the condition has increased due to the increased popularity of recreational exercise, approx 3.6/100,00...
