[The pathomorphologic differential diagnosis of cardiomyopathies (based on data from postmortem contrast cardioventriculography)].
A detailed study was made of the hearts from 52 subjects who had died from three types of cardiomyopathy (dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive) and 54 death victims who comprised control groups. Postmortem contrast cardioventriculography and volume-weight cardiometry were applied. The characteristic cardioventriculographic differential and diagnostic criteria were established. Dilated cardiomyopathy was characterized by a drastic increase in the ventricular volumes along with changes in the type and arrangement of the interventricular septum. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy showed forms of septal hypertrophy with diminished left ventricular cavity taking a definite form. Restrictive cardiomyopathy was distinguished by lower ventricular volumes with signs of obliteration, changes in the parietal endocardium and events of calcification.
