This is a multi-omics research of Chinese cardiomyopathies patients, aiming to determine genetic risk factor and serial biomarkers of cardiomyopathies in diagnosis and prognosis.

Identification of novel biomarkers is needed to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiomyopathy. Also,the marked variation of genes which is still unclear, may influence clinical outcomes is determined in part by genetic heterogeneity of the systemic response to pathological process.

Specific aim:

1. Proteomics, microRNA-seq and metabolomics will be to determine the correlation of echocardiographic parameters of systolic and diastolic functional entry with circulating molecules
2. Genomics will be to determine the association of clinical outcome

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who was diagnosed as cardiomyopathy by medical history, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests including ECG, echocardiography.
2. Subject understands study requirements aand agrees to sign an informed consent form prior to any study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Endocrine disease known to cause heart muscle disease (including infants of diabetic mothers)
2. History of rheumatic fever
3. Toxic exposures known to cause heart muscle disease (anthracyclines, mediastinal radiation, iron overload or heavy metal exposure)
4. HIV infection or born to an HIV positive mother
5. Kawasaki disease
6. Immunologic disease
7. Uremia, active or chronic
8. Abnormal ventricular size or function that can be attributed to intense 9.physical training or chronic anemia

10.Chronic arrhythmia, unless there are studies documenting inclusion criteria prior to the onset of arrhythmia (except a patient with chronic arrhythmia, subsequently ablated, whose cardiomyopathy persists after two months is not to be excluded) 11.Malignancy 12.Pulmonary parenchymal or vascular disease (e.g., cystic fibrosis, cor pulmonale, or pulmonary hypertension) 13.Ischemic coronary vascular disease 14.Association with drugs (e.g., growth hormone, corticosteroids, cocaine) or other diseases known to cause hypertrophy

A diagnosis of cardiomyopaty is adjudicated by three cardiologists,according to current guidelines when there was clinical evidence of cardiomyopathy together with clinical symptoms of heart failure or echocardiography or imaging evidence.

Patients have smiliar symptoms and are suspected as cardiomyopathy and further excluded by imaging examnation.

age- and gender- mathced healthy controls are also recuitted in the hospital.
