Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a rare disease with an annual incidence of 1 per 100 000. Dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are the most common;restricted, arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy,left ventricular noncompaction, and mixed cardiomyopathy are rare. Although the morphology and clinical manifestations of cardiomyopathy in adults and children are similar,cardiomyopathy in children still has its own imaging and clinical characteristics. For example,when using echocardiography to evaluate children’heart,Z-values is more important,and diastolic function is difficult to access. The article focuses on the characteristics of echocardiography in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in children and related imaging characteristics,and compares them with those of adult cardiomyopathy.
