Classification
- DCM (HFrEF; idiopathic, familial, viral, toxic, tachycardia, peripartum)
- HCM (asymmetric septal hypertrophy; sarcomere mutations; SCD risk)
- RCM (HFpEF; amyloid + sarcoid + iron + Fabry)
- ARVC (RV fibrofatty; desmosome mutations; VT/SCD)
- Takotsubo (stress-induced, reversible apical ballooning)
- Peripartum (pregnancy/postpartum; 30-50% recover)
HCM
- Mavacamten (FDA 2022) for symptomatic obstructive
- β-blocker / CCB / disopyramide
- Septal myectomy / alcohol ablation for refractory
- ICD for high-risk SCD features (family hx, syncope, NSVT, LVH ⥠30 mm, abnormal BP exercise, LGE)
- Family screening + genetic testing
Cardiac Amyloidosis
- AL amyloid: chemotherapy (daratumumab + CyBorD; ANDROMEDA)
- ATTR amyloid: tafamidis (Vyndaqel) + patisiran (TTR silencer)
- Workup: free light chains + echo + CMR + PYP scan + biopsy for AL
- Subtype critical for treatment
ARVC
- RV fibrofatty replacement
- Desmosome mutations
- VT with LBBB morphology
- Epsilon wave on ECG
- ICD + exercise restriction
- Family screening
Takotsubo
- Stress-induced (postmenopausal women)
- Reversible apical ballooning
- Normal coronaries
- Supportive treatment
Peripartum
- Pregnancy/postpartum
- Standard HFrEF (avoid ACEi/ARB in pregnancy)
- 30-50% recover
Myocarditis
- Viral most common (Coxsackie B, COVID-19)
- Immune-mediated: SLE, sarcoid, eosinophilic, giant cell, ICI
- Drug-induced: ICI, anthracyclines, cocaine
- Lake Louise CMR criteria (T1/T2 + LGE)
- Specific treatment:
- Giant cell: cyclosporine + steroid
- Eosinophilic + sarcoid: corticosteroids
- ICI: high-dose steroid + stop ICI + cardio-oncology
- Supportive HFrEF + mechanical support if severe
Key Trials/Drugs
- EXPLORER-HCM: mavacamten for obstructive HCM
- ATTR-ACT: tafamidis for ATTR amyloidosis
- ANDROMEDA: daratumumab + CyBorD for AL amyloid
- STEP-HCM: mavacamten cohort
- MERIT-HF + CIBIS-II + RALES + EMPHASIS-HF + DAPA-HF + EMPEROR-Reduced (HF â Ch 268)
ç§é«åž« hint
- HCM + symptomatic obstructive: mavacamten (FDA 2022) â game changer
- HFpEF + LVH + bilateral CTS + low voltage ECG: cardiac amyloidosis workup
- ATTR amyloidosis: tafamidis early; significant outcome improvement
- ICI myocarditis: high-dose steroid + stop ICI urgent
- Giant cell myocarditis: cyclosporine + steroid; ECMO bridge if severe
- Takotsubo: supportive + avoid catecholamines + reassurance (reversible)
- Familial cardiomyopathy: family screening + genetic testing
