Core Tip	Cardiomyopathies represent a different group of disorders in which myocardium is itself structurally and functionally abnormal. During recent decades, the genetics, pathophysiology and diagnosis of cardiomypathy have advanced from the traditional methods of clinical presentation to new genetic and imaging techniques. Nevertheless, the differences in definition, classification, pathophysiological mechanisms and diagnosis are controversial issues in clinical practice. The purpose of this review is to present the current state of classification, genetics, diagnostic approaches and management in order to provide useful instructions for clinical practice.
