Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) include dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (1). Other forms of acute and chronic nonischemic myocardial diseases have been detected, with stress-induced CMP and noncompaction CMP the most vividly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
