Mixed Dilated Cardiomyopathy


Explanation:
There are many causes of cardiomyopathy that can be categorized in several ways. One method of defining cardiomyopathy is based on the official definition by the American Heart Association (AHA).

The definition divides heart disease into 1.) primary cardiomyopathies, those that usually affect the heart alone (primary) and 2.) secondary cardiomyopathies, those that are a result of an underlying condition affecting many areas of the body.

The primary cardiomyopathies are further divided into inherited (genetic) diseases, those that are acquired, and those that are a combination of both.

Primary cardiomyopathy

Genetic
*hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
*Ion conduction abnormalities
-prolonged QT syndrome
-Brugada syndrome
Mixed
*dilated cardiomyopathy
*restrictive cardiomyopathy
Acquired
*inflammatory myocarditis
*peripartum
*physically and physiologically stress induced (tako-tsubo syndrome or "broken heart syndrome")

mixed cardiomyopathy, dilated stage


Explanation:
Cardiomyopathies can be primary or secondary. Secondary cardiomyopathies arise from uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, alcohol abuse, to name a few causes. A mixed cardiomyopathy results from 2 or more primary or secondary causes (e.g., muscular dystrophy and coronary artery disease). The final stage of many cardiomyopathies involves dilation and thinning of the heart muscle shortly before electromechanical failure
