[A case of familial restrictive cardiomyopathy]

According to estimates of WHO experts cases with diagnosed cardiomyopathy account for 40-60 per 100,000. Restrictive cardiopathy (RCP) is encountered in 5% of all the diagnosed cases of cardiomyopathy. Two patients (a mother and her daughter) with suspected of family RCP were examined using ECG, Holter ECG monitoring, echo-CG, histological tests, x-ray, blood biochemical tests. Echo-CG was most informative for verification of RCP diagnosis. The daughter had edema, enlarged liver, arterial hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia. The mother had arrhythmia, dyslipidemia. Based on the above symptoms, the patients received combined drug therapy with positive results.
