    Infiltrative cardiomyopathies are characterized by the deposition of abnormal substances that cause the ventricular

    walls to become progressively rigid, thereby impeding ventricular filling. Some infiltrative cardiac diseases

    increase ventricular wall thickness, while others cause chamber enlargement with secondary wall thinning. Increased

    wall thickness, small ventricular volume, and occasional dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction

    (e.g., amyloidosis) can outwardly appear similar to conditions with true myocyte hypertrophy (e.g., hypertrophic

    cardiomyopathy, hypertensive heart disease). Likewise, infiltrative disease that presents with a dilated left ventricle

    with global or regional wall motion abnormalities and aneurysm formation (e.g., sarcoidosis) may mimic

    ischemic cardiomyopathy. Low-voltage QRS complex was the sine qua non of infiltrative cardiomyopathy (i.e.,

    cardiac amyloid). However, low-voltage QRS complex is not a uniform finding with the infiltrative cardiomyopathies.

    The clinical presentation, along with functional and morphologic features, often provides enough insight to

    establish a working diagnosis. In most circumstances, however, tissue or serologic evaluation is needed to validate

    or clarify the cardiac diagnosis and institute appropriate therapy. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;55:1769–79)
