Internal Medicine: Cardiomyopathies and Pericardiopathies — Expert Guide

How it begins

Las miocardiopatías (MC) son enfermedades del músculo cardíaco que producen disfunción mecánica y/o eléctrica, generalmente (pero no siempre) con hipertrofia o dilatación inapropiada. La clasificación ha evolucionado significativamente: la histórica clasificación morfofuncional de la OMS (1995) en hipertrófica, dilatada, restrictiva y arritmogénica ha sido enriquecida por la clasificación de la ESC (2008) y la más…
