It does not change whether diabetes can be considered in cardiomyopathy claims, just how the term is defined within this specific document."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cardiomyopathy-no-22-of-2002","history":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cardiomyopathy-no-22-of-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cardiomyopathy-no-22-of-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cardiomyopathy-no-22-of-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cardiomyopathy-no-22-of-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/amendment-of-statement-of-principles-concerning-cardiomyopathy-no-22-of-2002/documents"}}
