Posted by Maria Honse on August 19th, 2016

Cardiomyopathy is known to be the serious heart condition, in which your heart muscles gets inflammed as well as weakened. Hence, the heart not properly works as it should and it pumps blood less meritoriously. Eventually, it might lead to Heart Attack or failure. To identify it Cardiovascular Screening is required and it may get classified as Primary, where there is no such attributed reason, or Secondary where the cardiomyopathy is mainly because of any specific cause, like hypertension, congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, viral infection, heart valve disease etc. With the help of Coronary Calcium Scan or Coronary Cta proper Heart Disease Diagnosis can be done.

There are basically 3 key kind of Cardiomyopathy such as:

1.        Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

2.        Dilated Cardiomyopathy

3.        Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

Key Symptoms related to Cardiomyopathy?

In early stages of cardiomyopathy, possibly there might be not any symptoms. In the progress of condition, the below mentioned symptoms might be experienced, so they might get progressively highly severe when condition are left to be untreated.

•        Exertion or Shortness of breath

•        Swelling of ankles, legs and feet

•         Fatigue

•        Fainting spells

• Heart Palpitations

•        lightheadedness or Giddiness

Causes of Cardiomyopathy

While there is underlying condition that might lead to development of the cardiomyopathy, cardiomyopathy gets classified to be Secondary. There are some possible causes related to cardiomyopathy that consist of below mentioned. Hence it is important for proper and Sudden Cardiac Death Treatment which may save your life.

• Enduring high level of blood pressure

• Damage of the Heart muscle from earlier heart attacks

• Problems of the Heart valve

• Specific viral infections that is leading to viral myocarditis

• Enduring extreme consumption of alcohol

• Nutritional insufficiencies

What is known as Dilated Cardiomyopathy?

It is much common kind of cardiomyopathy, where the cavity of heart gets dilated or enlarged as well as their ability to also pump blood gets meaningfully reduced. Several patients with the dilated cardiomyopathy also move on for developing the heart failure. Abnormal kind of the heart rhythms might even develop.

On the other hand the dilated heart even has some kind of the specific areas within their chambers where the flow of the blood is known to be much stagnant as well as much slow. It makes the proper development of the blood clot as well as thrombus that is likely, and it is "thrombus" that even dislodges and that gets is pumped out from your heart, it may also cause chaemic conditions like the stroke.

What does Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy means?

In such kind of cardiomyopathy, heart muscles gets abnormally enlarges as well as thickened. As muscles become thicker, size of heart chambers will get decreased, interfering with ability of heart to deliver blood to your body.

In one kind of disease, the septum which is also known as wall between two ventricles will get enlarged as well as obstructs blood flow from left ventricle. Such kind of syndrome is well known as H.O.C.M. or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. It even has historically been called as A.S.H. or asymmetric septal hypertrophy.
