Cardiomyopathy Sample Clauses
The Cardiomyopathy clause defines the terms and conditions related to the diagnosis, management, or coverage of cardiomyopathy within a contract or policy. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes cardiomyopathy, the criteria for its diagnosis, and any specific exclusions or limitations regarding benefits or responsibilities if a party is affected by this condition. For example, it may specify whether certain types of cardiomyopathy are covered under a health insurance plan or what documentation is required to confirm the diagnosis. The core function of this clause is to provide clarity and set expectations regarding how cardiomyopathy is treated under the agreement, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes.
Cardiomyopathy i. Consultation Paper stating the presenting complaints with duration, past medical history with duration, treatment and medication advised.
ii. Medical reports: Xray, echo, cardiac catheterization, myocardial biopsy, stress test, ECG, CAG, blood test wherever applicable
iii. Clinical examination by doctor which suggest cardiomyopathy.
iv. Treating doctor must specify the exact diagnosis as Cardiomyopathy along with its exact cause.
v. Any other documents as may be required by us.
Cardiomyopathy. A diagnosis of cardiomyopathy by a Cardiologist. There must be clinical impairment of heart function resulting in the permanent loss of ability to perform physical activities for a minimum period of 30 days to at least Class 3 of the New York Heart Association classification’s of functional capacity (heart disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activities where less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, breathlessness or chest pain) and LVEF of 40% or less. The following conditions are excluded: - Cardiomyopathy caused due to alcohol or drug abuse. - All other forms of heart disease, heart enlargement and myocarditis. - Diabetes and Obesity related cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy. A definite diagnosis of cardiomyopathy by a cardiologist which results in permanently impaired ventricular function and resulting in permanent physical impairment of at least Class III of the New York Heart Association's classification of cardiac impairment. The diagnosis has to be supported by echocardiographic findings of compromised ventricular performance. The NYHA Classification of Cardiac Impairment for Class III and Class IV means the following: Class III: Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest but less than ordinary activity causes symptoms. Class IV: Unable to engage in any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms may be present even at rest. Cardiomyopathy directly related to alcohol or drug abuse is excluded.

Cardiomyopathy. The unequivocal diagnosis by a consultant cardiologist of Cardiomyopathy causing impaired ventricular function suspected by ECG abnormalities and confirmed by cardiac echo of variable etiology and resulting in permanent physical impairments to the degree of at least Class IV of the New York Association (NYHA) Classification of cardiac impairment. The NYHA Classification of Cardiac Impairment (Source: “Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment - 39th Edition”):
Cardiomyopathy. The unequivocal diagnosis by a consultant cardiologist of Cardiomyopathy causing impaired ventricular function suspected by ECG abnormalities and confirmed by cardiac echo of variable etiology and resulting in permanent physical impairments to the degree of at least Class IV of the New York Association (NYHA) Classification of cardiac impairment. The NYHA Classification of Cardiac Impairment (Source: “Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment – 39th Edition”):
a. Class I: No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, dyspnoea, or angina pain.
b. Class II: Slight limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity results in symptoms.
c. Class III: Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
d. Class IV: Unable to engage in any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms may be present even at rest. We will not cover Cardiomyopathy related to alcohol abuse under this Section.
Cardiomyopathy. A. An impaired function of the heart muscle, unequivocally diagnosed as Cardiomyopathy by a consultant cardiologist who has been treating the patient, and which results in permanent physical impairment to the degree of New York Heart Association classification Class IV, or its equivalent, based on the following classification criteria: Class IV - Inability to carry out any activity without discomfort.
B. Symptoms of congestive cardiac failure are present even at rest. With any increase in physical activity, discomfort will be experienced. The Diagnosis of Cardiomyopathy has to be supported by echographic findings of compromised ventricular performance. Irrespective of the above, Cardiomyopathy directly related to alcohol or drug abuse is excluded.
