title: Cardiomyopathies: MOGE(S): a standardized classification of cardiomyopathies?
abstract: Cardiomyopathy classification has been subject to revisions for >60 years. The new MOGE(S) classification system, which incorporates information on structural and functional abnormalities, organ involvement, genetics, aetiology, and disease severity, is a step towards a globally accepted nomenclature, but needs to be applicable in all health-care systems around the world.
