PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Cardiomyopathies refer to a heterogeneous group of myocardial pathology that impairs normal cardiac function in the absence of acute coronary ischemia or chronic valvular dysfunction. The group can be classified into primary cardiomyopathies, which predominantly affect the myocardium and secondary cardiomyopathies, capable of impairing normal myocyte function, while producing widespread systemic dysregulation and multiorgan dysfunction. Primary cardiomyopathies can be further subdivided according to the etiology producing the cardiac pathology: (1) genetic; (2) mixed; and (3) acquired.
