restrictive
11
which cardiomyopathy: DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION BECAUSE OF SCARRING OR INFILTRATION
restrictive
12
Fatigue, weakness; Dyspnea Pallor, Pale; tachycardia usually; Cardiac apex displaced left and down; Apical lift/thrill; S1/S2 generally normal; S3 UNIVERSALLY PRESENT
LV failure

RV failure
