    Extractions: Peer Review Status: Externally Peer Reviewed by the AMA This case is 52 year old male smoker who carried the diagnosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. He had dyspnea on minimal exertion and was being considered for a cardiac transplant. He presented to this hospital with a 1 month history of intermittent hemoptysis. A new indistinct mass was noted by his local physician and he underwent bronchoscopy at that hospital. No endobronchial mass was identified but cytology obtained during the bronchoscopy was interpreted as showing atypical cells. However, a definite diagnosis of malignancy could not be made from the specimen. His arterial blood gases on admission were: PH 7.52 PCO2 35 PO2 84. His diffusing capacity was normal. His chest x-ray demonstrated an enlarged heart and vague density that could only be seen on the PA radiograph. A chest CT was ordered to investigate the left lung abnormality. The lung window demonstrated a homogenous density contiguous with the major fissure, suggesting a pulmonary infarct. The mediastinal images revealed clot in the left main pulmonary artery and in the tip of the left atrial appendage.

    Extractions: CARDIOMYOPATHY Common Name Not specified Description: A structural or functional abnormality of the muscle of the heart, causing weakening of the heart muscle. Results in inability of heart to pump blood efficiently. There are 3 types of cardiomyopathy and are classified as dilated, hypertrophic or restrictive. Causes: Many known diseases can cause cardiomyopathy, or it may have no identifiable cause. There are different causes for the 3 different types of cardiomyopathy and they are outlined below: In this disorder, the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) enlarge but are unable to pump enough blood to keep up with the body's needs, resulting in heart failure. In the United States, the most common cause of dilated congestive cardiomyopathy is widespread coronary artery disease. Infection (myocarditis) caused by viruses (including HIV), bacteria, fungi, and other organisms.

    http://www.tmc.edu/thi/myopathy.html
    
    Extractions: (En español) "Cardiomyopathy" means "disease of the heart muscle." Cardiomyopathy damages the muscle tone of the heart and reduces its ability to pump blood to the rest of your body. Although only about 50,000 Americans have cardiomyopathy, it is a leading cause of heart failure and the most common reason for needing a heart transplant. Cardiomyopathy is so dangerous because it often goes unrecognized and untreated. Also, it is different from other heart problems because it frequently affects younger people. There are 4 main types of cardiomyopathy. Click below to learn more about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Dilated Cardiomyopathy Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of cardiomyopathy. Also called congestive cardiomyopathy, it affects the chambers of the heart by weakening their walls. In most cases, doctors do not know the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. When the cause is unknown, it is called idiopathic.

    Extractions: (En español) Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of heart muscle disease. It is found most often in middle-aged people and more often in men than in women. But the disease has been diagnosed in people of all ages, including children. Also called "congestive cardiomyopathy," dilated cardiomyopathy damages the muscle tissue that makes up the heart's pumping chambers. If the chamber walls become weak enough, the heart can no longer perform its normal pumping action. At first, your bodily functions will remain near normal. Other parts of the body will try to make up for the heart's decreased pumping power by increasing the amount of fluid they hold—and by making more blood than usual. The heart chambers then expand (dilate) to make room for this greater blood volume. This expansion can initially restore some of the heart's pumping strength because the more a muscle is stretched, the more forcefully it can contract.

This thickening stiffens the heart wall so that it is less able to efficiently pump blood. See comparison of HCM with normal heart HCM is a rare condition, occurring in only one or two per 1,000 individuals. It has a wide variety of names including "asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH)," "idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS)," and "muscular subaortic stenosis." Only a minority of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have the obstructive form of the disease, but the implications for treatment are important.

Literally, the term "cardiomyopathy" means disease of the heart muscle. More specifically, cardiomyopathy (CM) is a disease of the heart muscle in which either the heart walls thicken greatly (hypertrophic and restrictive forms) or stretch greatly (dilated form). In either form, the heart's function is greatly compromised leading to an eventual state of heart failure. Return to menu. What Causes Cardiomyopathy? There have been several causes of CM identified. A deficiency of taurine, an essential amino acid, will cause dilated CM. Taurine was deficient in many commercial cat foods until its deficiency was identified; however, cat foods are now properly supplemented. Hyperthyroidism, a non-cancerous growth of the thyroid gland, can cause a variation of the hypertrophic form. The restrictive form is associated with an unidentified inflammatory process within the heart muscle. However, many cases of CM are not caused by any of these processes, and we do not understand their origin. Return to menu.

    Extractions: This site was created in memory of Bryan and Kevin Yu, and in honor of all children fighting cardiomyopathy. The Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation (C.C.F.) is a national, non-profit health organization dedicated to saving lives and improving the quality of life for those affected by pediatric cardiomyopathy. Pediatric cardiomyo- pathy is a chronic and life-threatening disease of the heart muscle that affects more than 10,000 children in the United States. As the first and only lay advocacy group focused on the disease in children, C.C.F.'s mission is to accelerate the search for a cure by stimulating and funding promising research, by educat- ing healthcare professionals and patients, and by increasing awareness and advocacy related to the needs of affected children and their families. C.C.F. was established by a parent who lost two young children to the disease and wanted to ensure that other affected children would be given greater chances for survival. Since its formation in 2002, C.C.F. has worked with the medical community, National Institute of Health and many diagnosed families to increase the visibility of this rare and often under-diagnosed disease. Managed by volunteers and guided by a distinguished medical advisory board, C.C.F. strives for the day when every child with cardiomyopathy can be cured to live a full and active life. The Foundation relies heavily on public contributions to support important research and education on pediatric cardiomyopathy. Every dollar counts for this rare disease, which receives little Federal funding and support.
