Reid's Story
What is CARDIOMYOPATHY?
Cardiomyopathy (KAR-de-o-mi-OP-ah-thee) refers to diseases of the heart muscle. These diseases have many causes, symptoms, and treatments. In cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle becomes enlarged, thick, or rigid. In rare cases, the muscle tissue in the heart is replaced with scar tissue. As cardiomyopathy worsens, the heart becomes weaker. It's less able to pump blood through the body and maintain a normal electrical rhythm. This can lead to heart failure or irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias. Left Ventricular Non-Compaction (LVNC) refers to a rare form where the muscular wall of the left ventricle of the heart appears spongy. Cardiomyopathy can be acquired or inherited however, many times, the cause of cardiomyopathy isn't known.
