Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a form of cardiomyopathy in which the walls of the heart are rigid (but not thickened).[2][3] Thus the heart is restricted from stretching and filling with blood properly. It is the least common of the three original subtypes of cardiomyopathy: hypertrophic, dilated, and restrictive.[1]
It should not be confused with constrictive pericarditis, a disease which presents similarly but is very different in treatment and prognosis.[1]
