Default Pediatric Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

I am brand new to this forum. I joined because I have a friend who's daughter is 14 months old, and was just diagnosed with RCM. It is so rare for children her age, that it is difficult to find an "expert" on this diagnosis.

She is currently asymptomatic and healthy. The abnormality was an incidental finding during an EKG to investigate a slight bluish appearance at birth. (since resolved) She has been monitored since, and yesterday, underwent more testing. Now, the RCM diagnosis is suspected. Her current cardiac output is "low/normal"

Anyone know of someone researching this condition?
