The restrictive cardiomyopathies are the least common of the 3 major categories of cardiomyopathic disorders seen in Western countries. According to the report of the WHO/ISFC Task Force the term restrictive cardiomyopathy applies to only 2 conditions: endomyocardial fibrosis and Loeffler endocarditis while many specific myocardial diseases can develop a restrictive pathophysiologic profile along their natural history. During the last decade this topic has received 2 main contributions: the identification of a common pathophysiologic ground linking Loeffler endocarditis and endomyocardial fibrosis and the identification of the so-called idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy. This condition, defined as a myocardial disease with restrictive physiology, unknown etiology and without histological evidence of infiltrative or storage diseases, appears to be the single most frequent type of restrictive cardiomyopathy in Western countries. A revision of the current classification of cardiomyopathies and particularly of restrictive myocardial disease is necessary.
