The document discusses several types of cardiomyopathies: 1) Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by global hypokinesia, systolic failure, and spherical cavity dilation. 2) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is often genetic and can cause sudden death in young athletes due to left ventricular hypertrophy over 12-16mm. 3) Restrictive cardiomyopathy involves infiltration that causes diastolic dysfunction and a non-hypertrophic, dilated phenotype.
