What type of heart disease is typically seen with hereditary hemochromatosis? It seems like a toss up between restrictive and dilated cardiomyopathy.
 
Yeah it's restrictive, though I think UW had a typo on one question saying it was dilated. Infiltrative disease all cause restricted cardiomyopathies.
 
yea ive been looking into it but step up has it as restrictive but emedicine seems to imply that patients would develop a dilated type. eh well, i guess another toss up.
