| Description | Cardiomyopathies encompass a diverse group of diseases requiring specialized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Unlike more common conditions, some rarer forms demand advanced expertise and access to modern imaging and diagnostic tools. Recently, targeted treatments for diseases like obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, Fabry, and Pompe disease have emerged. These therapies are often high-cost, subject to strict indications, and necessitate intensive patient monitoring. Given the complexity, diagnosis and treatment should be centralized in expert centers with adequate resources and coordination with healthcare payers to ensure an access to these treatments. This document, prepared by the Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases of the Czech Society of Cardiology, outlines expert consensus on the necessary infrastructure for specialized cardiomyopathy units, which are expected to offer comprehensive care, including innovative and regulated therapies. |
