Zusammenfassung

Der Begriff Kardiomyopathie wurde 1957 von Bridgen als nichtkoronare Herzmuskelerkrankung eingeführt. Sinngemäß wird damit eine Gruppe von Herzerkrankungen beschrieben, die sich ätiologisch weder durch Koronargefäßverän-derungen noch durch Herzklappenfehler, kongenitale Herzanomalien oder pul-monale bzw. systemische Hypertension erklären läßt. Schon kurz nach seiner Einführung fand dieser Begriff allgemeine Akzeptanz (Goodwin et al. 1961; Mattingly 1961: Harvey et al. 1964). Wie die anderen Formen der Kardiomyopathien läßt sich auch die dilatative Form zwar anatomisch und funktioneil positiv, ätiologisch derzeit jedoch nur negativ — d. h. per exclusionem — definieren (z.B. Brandenburg et al. 1981).
