The China CardioMyopathy Registry Study

In this study, patients hospitalized with cardiomyopathy as the primary discharge diagnosis in China are recruited prospectively after informed consent was given. The investigator will collect the baseline clinical characteristics of the patients at enrollment, including comprehensive physical examination, laboratory testing of blood and urine, electrocardiography, 24-hour Holter, echocardiography, MRI and other examinations if necessary. Data are collected with the use of case report forms (CRFs) and are entered into a web-based system. A 6 mL venous blood sample is obtained from consenting patients. Each participant is scheduled to be followed up by telephone every 12 months after admission to hospital.

Exclusion criteria
