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.
