在生物学中，分类系统通过使用逻辑分组和层次来促进理解和系统讨论。在临床医学中，类似的原则被用来规范疾病的命名。三十多年来，心肌疾病被分为原发性或特发性心肌疾病（cardiomyopathies）和继发性疾病（secondary disorders），这两种疾病具有相似的形态学外观，但由可识别的病理引起，如冠状动脉疾病或心肌浸润（specific heart muscle diseases）。在本文中，欧洲心脏病学会心肌和心包疾病工作组提出了现有分类方案的更新。其目的是帮助临床医生超越通用的诊断标签，以达到更具体的诊断。
In biology, classification systems are used to promote understanding and systematic discussion through the use of logical groups and hierarchies. In clinical medicine, similar principles are used to standardise the nomenclature of disease. For more than three decades, heart muscle diseases have been classified into primary or idiopathic myocardial diseases (cardiomyopathies) and secondary disorders that have similar morphological appearances, but which are caused by an identifiable pathology such as coronary artery disease or myocardial infiltration (specific heart muscle diseases). In this document, The European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases presents an update of the existing classification scheme. The aim is to help clinicians look beyond generic diagnostic labels in order to reach more specific diagnoses.
