心肌疾病的分类已被证明是非常复杂的，在许多方面相互矛盾。事实上，用来描述这些疾病的精确语言非常重要。一个新的当代和严格的分类心肌病（定义）提出了这里。这份参考文件提供了一个重要的框架和措施，明确这一异质性的疾病组。特别值得注意的是，本分类方案认识到心脏病学分子遗传学的快速发展，以及最近描述的几种疾病的引入，并且是独特的，因为它将离子通道病作为原发性心肌病。
Classifications of heart muscle diseases have proved to be exceedingly complex and in many respects contradictory. Indeed, the precise language used to describe these diseases is profoundly important. A new contemporary and rigorous classification of cardiomyopathies (with definitions) is proposed here. This reference document affords an important framework and measure of clarity to this heterogeneous group of diseases. Of particular note, the present classification scheme recognizes the rapid evolution of molecular genetics in cardiology, as well as the introduction of several recently described diseases, and is unique in that it incorporates ion channelopathies as a primary cardiomyopathy.
