In the period from 1968 to 1977, in the Departments of Cardiology of the S. Camillo Hospital, a study has been made about 200 cases of Congestive Cardiomyopathy (MPC) and 100 about hypertrophic obstructive (MP0). Congestive cardiomyopathies constitute 1.5% of hospitalizations with a constant trend in the long run. In comparing these two forms, Authors have noticed some differences in the symptomatology of clinical and instrumental signs: 1) in case of MPO prevail angina, syncope, ejection systolic murmur, left ventricular overload in the ECG; 2) in case of MPC they find more frequently heart failure, embolism, diastolic gallop, cardiomegaly, A/V and intraventricular conduction disturbs. The AA. conclude, in accordance with Goodwin's classification, that there is not an uniformity of these two kinds of cardiomyopathies. |
