Complications
- Heart Failure
- RCM is characterised by impaired ventricular filling due to restrictive physiology, leading to heart failure symptoms.
- Atrial Arrhythmias
- RCM is associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, which can further impair cardiac function and increase the risk of thromboembolic events.
- Thromboembolism
- Atrial arrhythmias and impaired ventricular function increase the risk of thrombus formation within the atria or ventricles, leading to thromboembolic events.
- Conduction Abnormalities
- Fibrosis and infiltration of the myocardium can disrupt normal conduction pathways, leading to conduction abnormalities such as atrioventricular block or bundle branch block.
