Cardiomyopathy may sound like a big, intimidating word, but understanding it can make all the difference in caring for clients with heart failure. In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN, breaks down the three main types of cardiomyopathy—dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive - so you’ll never confuse them again.
We’ll cover:
A high-yield NCLEX-style practice question
The “balloon” analogy for dilated cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and its link to sudden death in young athletes
Restrictive cardiomyopathy and why it’s rare but dangerous
Clinical features, diagnostics, and treatment priorities for each type
Real-life ED case study of a client with dilated cardiomyopathy
Whether you’re learning the basics in nursing school or brushing up for clinical practice, this episode will help you connect the pathophysiology with the bedside care.
