Overview
Cardiomyopathy is the most common inherited cardiovascular disease, showing family aggregation, so it has a huge psychological and economic burden on family members. Studying the clinical characteristics of patients with cardiomyopathy is helpful for further diagnosis, treatment and management, which has important clinical and social significance.
Detailed description
In this study, patients hospitalized with cardiomyopathy as the primary discharge diagnosis in China are recruited prospectively after informed consent was given. The investigator will collect the baseline clinical characteristics of the patients at enrollment, including comprehensive physical examination, laboratory testing of blood and urine, electrocardiography, 24-hour Holter, echocardiography, MRI and other examinations if necessary. Data are collected with the use of case report forms (CRFs) and are entered into a web-based system. A 6 mL venous blood sample is obtained from consenting patients. Each participant is scheduled to be followed up by telephone every 12 months after admission to hospital.
Primary outcome measures
- number of participants with cardiovascular deaths [Time frame: an average of 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- number of participants with heart failure [Time frame: an average of 1 year]
- number of participants with stroke [Time frame: an average of 1 year]
- number of participants with myocardial infarction [Time frame: an average of 1 year]
- number of participants with all-cause deaths [Time frame: an average of 1 year]
