cardiomyopathy


Cardiomyopathy is a serious disease in which the heart muscle becomes inflamed and weakened. It may be caused by viral infections, coronary heart disease or diseases involving other organs. Sometimes, the cause of cardiomyopathy is unknown. As the disease worsens, it can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias and heart valve problems.
