Overview
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is defined as heart-muscle disease with impaired ventricular filling usually due to increased stiffness. The diastolic volume of either or both ventricles is normal or decreased,the systolic function usually remains normal and wall thickness may be normal or increased. The symptoms and signs may consist of right (jugular venous pressure, peripheral edema, and ascites) or left ventricular failure (breathlessness and evidence of pulmonary edema).[1]
