==Myocardial Disease==
*[[Myocardial_Disease#Myocardial Disease - Secondary|Myocardial Disease - Secondary]]
Overall, myocardial disease can be subdivided into two types: primary and secondary myocardial disease. Whereas the primary type most commonly has a genetic cause, secondary myocardial diseases are mostly acquired but may be precipitated by a genetic background.

==== Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ====
*[[Pericardial Disease#Pericardial Disease - Acute|Pericardial Disease - Acute]]
The modern description of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) dates from 1958. The essential characteristics of HCM are unexplained hypertrophy of the left ventricle in the absence of causative other cardiac or systemic disorders. Distinctive features further comprise myocyte disarray, familial occurrence, and an association with sudden cardiac death (SCD).

===== Epidemiology =====
*[[Pericardial Disease#Pericardial Disease - Chronic|Pericardial Disease - Chronic]]
The prevalence of the HCM phenotype was found to be approximately 0.2%, or 1 in 500, in several epidemiological studies. This frequency is notably higher than its occurrence in daily clinical practice. Hence, a large amount of patients remains undiagnosed, most probably without symptoms of inferences for their prognosis.
