Cardiomyopathy - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - cardiomyopathy
В основе ишемической кардиомиопатии лежит нарушение кровоснабжения миокарда, которое запускает цепочку патологических реакций: некроза, фиброза, активации тканевой ренин-ангиотензиновой системы. Важную роль играет механизм прекондиционирования, который заключается в многократных эпизодах ишемии с реперфузией сердечной мышцы. Частое повторение такого процесса активирует АТФ-зависимые насосы и увеличивает порог ишемического повреждения.
Морфологически при кардиомиопатии на фоне ИБС наблюдается увеличение массы сердца до 500-700 г и тотальное расширение его полостей. При этом наблюдается диспропорциональное истончение стенки левого желудочка, очаги крупноочагового фиброза сердечной мышцы. Характерно обширное атеросклеротическое поражение коронарных сосудов, участки артериальных стенозов и окклюзии, кальцификация в начальных отделах аорты.
