The ‘Padua classification’ of cardiomyopathies into three groups: hypertrophic/restrictive, dilated/hypokinetic, and scarring/arrhythmogenic
The newly proposed classification of cardiomyopathies, referred to as 'the Padua Classification', is based on both pathobiological basis (genetics, molecular biology, and pathology) and clinical features (morpho-functional and structural ventricular remodelling as evidenced by cardiac magnetic resonance). Cardiomyopathies are grouped into tree main categories and characterized by a designation combining both 'anatomical' and 'functional' features: hypertrophic/restrictive, dilated/hypokinetic, and scarring/arrhythmogenic; each cardiomyopathy group includes either genetic or non-genetic aetiologic variants. This novel approach aims to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and to support 'disease-specific' therapeutic strategies, with the objective to improve patient management and outcome.
