“…On chest radiography, the finding of pericardial calcifications and/or low QRS voltages on EKG direct the diagnosis to CP. Tissue tracking-derived left ventricular mechanics on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide further information to facilitate this distinction [ 114 ].…”

Background: Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of pathologies characterized by structural and functional alterations of the heart. Aims: The purpose of this narrative review is to focus on the most important cardiomyopathies and their epidemiology, diagnosis, and management. Methods: Clinical trials were identified by Pubmed until 30 March 2021. The search keywords were “cardiomyopathies, sudden cardiac arrest, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARCV), takotsubo syndrome”. Results: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common primary cardiomyopathy, with a prevalence of 1:500 persons. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a prevalence of 1:2500 and is the leading indication for heart transplantation. Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common of the major cardiomyopathies, representing 2% to 5% of cases. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARCV) is a pathology characterized by the substitution of the myocardium by fibrofatty tissue. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is defined as an abrupt onset of left ventricular dysfunction in response to severe emotional or physiologic stress. Conclusion: In particular, it has been reported that HCM is the most important cause of sudden death on the athletic field in the United States. It is needless to say how important it is to know which changes in the heart due to physical activity are normal, and when they are pathological.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common phenotype of cardiomyopathies with controversy in its exact definition, epidemiology and diagnostic criteria. If left untreated, the disorder could ultimately lead to heart failure. This review article documents available research-based evidence to provide a comprehensive clinical understanding of RCM, its epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical management. The article is organized into ten main sections, namely description, classification, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, prognosis, causes of death, pathophysiology, etiology, differential diagnosis, and clinical management. The article concludes with a concise summary of the main points discussed.

“…Na radiografia de tórax, o achado de calcificações pericárdicas e/ou baixas voltagens de QRS no ECG direcionam o diagnóstico para PC. A mecânica ventricular esquerda derivada do rastreamento tecidual na ecocardiografia e na ressonância magnética cardíaca pode fornecer informações adicionais para facilitar essa distinção 61 .…”
