"Classification"

Line 4:1 · "Classification" should be H2, not H1.
Semicolons
suggestion

"characterised by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy, often with a non-dilated chamber; can be obstructive or non-obstructive"

Line 16:103 · Use semicolons judiciously.
Inline EG
suggestion

"largely confined to the heart (e.g. genetic, mixed like DCM, acquired like myocarditis)"
