Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy was better known as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia or ARVD and sometimes as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy or ARVC earlier. A study published in JACC has compared the phenotypic expression and clinical outcomes in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy [2].

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a unique cardiomyopathy, which is potentially reversible. Due to the presence of tachyarrhythmias in various cardiomyopathies, differentiating TIC from other non-reversible conditions can be challenging.

David Gibson, 75, of Walbridge, Ohio, traveled 100 miles to undergo care with UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute. He was diagnosed with extensive coronary artery disease, resulting in ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. His heart was weak and did not pump well due to blockages in his coronary arteries.

Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery of function. Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state.

Background:Despite the role of cardiac catheterization for hemodynamic assessment and endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in children with cardiomyopathy, data on procedure-related major adverse events (MAE) in this population is lacking. We aim to describe the rate of MAE in children with cardiomyopathy undergoing cardiac catheterization.

There were great advances in the treatment of heart failure (HF) over the past decades, characterised by the inclusion of ARNI and SGLT2 inhibitors in the latest guidelines. 1 The increasing repertoire of treatments makes it even more important to select those patients who will benefit the most from these therapies.

need to be reminded the etiology of cardiomyopathy plays crucial role in determining the cause of LBBB. This fact by itself tell us what could be the true mechanism of LBBB in dilated cardiomyopathy. At best, we can try stimulating the heart it two or three sites. In ischemic DCM, it could be localized necrosis and scarring.
