Restrictive cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy overlap: the importance of the phenotype

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is defined on the basis of the haemodynamic finding of restrictive ventricular physiology. However, restrictive ventricular pathophysiology is also a feature of other subtypes of cardiomyopathy, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Clinically and aetiological...
