Cardiomyopathy:
Chronic heart disease, cardiomyopathy occurs when heart muscles get aberrantly stiffened and enlarged. According to the extent of abnormality of the heart muscles, cardiomyopathy can be of three types:
- Dilated cardiomyopathy: occurs when heart muscle (myocardium) get weak and enlarged.
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: occurs when heart muscles get thicker than normal.
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy: occurs when heart stiffens and heart chamber cannot efficiently fill with blood during diastole.
- The selection of treatment for this disease highly depends upon age, type, and severity of cardiomyopathy, general health status, and other factors.
- A heart doctor can prescribe appropriate medicines to regulate the heart and preventing the development of clots.
Such diseases occur due to problems in the vascular system, veins, and arteries that supply blood to the heart. Causes of cardiovascular disease are age, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking etc.
