Morphologic features of the main types of cardiomyopathies. The normal geometry of the LV is shown. In comparison, there is enlargement and dilatation of the LV in DCM. In HCM, there is marked thickening of the LV wall, often asymmetric, with the septum being even thicker than the free wall of the LV. In restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), the ventricular wall may be normal, hypertrophic, or slightly dilated, but the main feature is that the restriction to diastolic compliance of the ventricl...
