Abstract
Coronary sclerosis, arterial and pulmonary hypertension, valvular or septal abnormalities, bacteria, and viruses have been regarded as primary causes of myocardial disease. During the past 20 years, great interest has been focused on other factors, especially hormones and toxins that may produce myocardial cell damage. In addition, we became aware that pathology of heart muscle may also be of familial nature, thus suggesting genetic origin.
