Cardiomyopathy
Jorge Muniz, creator of Medcomic, is an artist and absolute genius. Using his representations of different pathologies definitely helped me better grasp subjects in PA school.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Diastolic Dysfunction. MC initial complaint is SOB. (Look for this in the young athlete who suddenly collapses.)
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
MC type of cardiomyopathy (95%). Tx: Standard HF tx
Restricted Cardiomyopathy
Right-Sided Heart Failure symptoms. (Look for the patient with autoimmune disease OR the cancer patient who recently had chemotherapy or radiation therapy who is experiencing right HF symptoms!!)
