A+
Cardiomyopathy (CORRECT ANSWER) •disease that affects heart
muscle's ability to pump effectively
•primary abnormality of heart muscle that affects it's structural or
functional characteristics
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (CORRECT ANSWER) •most common
•inherited (1/3)
•chemical exposure
•common occurrence in 20-60 yo
•men > women
•muscle becomes thinner and weaker as it dilates
•SOB, fatigue, LE edema, JVD
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) (CORRECT ANSWER) •↓
compliance of LV and hypertrophy
•usually inherited
•also sec to HTN
,•muscle mass enlarges, leading to small LV volume
•septal hypertrophy may inhibit outflow
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy (RCM) (CORRECT ANSWER) •rigid
ventricular walls that restrict heart's ability to stretch and fill w/ blood
•usually acquired as result of amyloidosis (build up of protein)
•↓ compliance (expansion)
•diastolic dysfunction and HF
Arrythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD) (CORRECT
ANSWER) •↑ risk of ventricular dysrhythmias sec to thickening of
cardiac muscle
•usually hereditary
•can cause sudden cardiac death in young adults and athletes
Unclassified Cardiomyopathy (CORRECT ANSWER) •peripartum
cardiomyopathy (PPCM)
•rare but serious
•usually seen in last months of pregnancy or up to 5 months PP
•risk factors = multiple pregnancies, obesity, poor nutrition, HTN, some
meds
