[Cardiomyopathies].
Cardiomyopathies have been characterized as diseases of the heart muscle of unknown cause. The dilated type [idiopathic cardiomegaly] cannot be regarded as a separate entity, but a uniform final result of myocardial damage due to various factors. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [asymmetrical hypertrophy of septum] probably represents a genetically conditioned disease with characteristic clinical and pathological features.
