Cardiomyopathy includes five original subtypes referred as hypertrophic, dilated, restrictive, arrhythmogenic right ventricular, and unclassified types.[1] Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common of cardiomyopathy characterized by impaired ventricular filling.[2] RCM includes five subtypes on the basis of genotype.
