The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by cardiomyopathy:
Dilated (dilated) cardiomyopathy (DCM)
Cardiovascular (I00-I99).
- Apoplexy (stroke)
- Arterial or pulmonary embolism (partial or complete occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus/entrained material)
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Sudden cardiac death (PHT)
- Ventricular tachycardia (arrhythmia occurring in the ventricles of the heart).
Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99).
- Cardiac cachexia (emaciation, severe emaciation in chronic heart failure (heart failure)).
Genitourinary system (kidneys, urinary tract – reproductive organs) (N00-N99).
- Renal insufficiency (kidney weakness).
Further
- Organ insufficiencies
Hypertrophic (enlarged) cardiomyopathy (HCM), with and without obstruction (narrowing) (HOCM/HNCM)
Respiratory System (J00-J99)
- Pulmonary edema (accumulation of water in lung tissue).
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99)
- Sudden cardiac death (PHT; common in young athletes).
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in children and adolescents; estimation of 5-year risk of sudden cardiac death in children: Risk Calculator
Restrictive (limited) cardiomyopathy (RCM)
Cardiovascular (I00-I99).
- Embolism (partial or complete occlusion of a vessel by an embolus)
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVCM)
Cardiovascular (I00-I99).
- Sudden cardiac death (PHT; common in young athletes).
