Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a group of diseases where the heart muscle becomes abnormal, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. Over time, it can lead to heart failure, irregular heart rhythms, or other serious complications.

👉 In simple terms:It is a condition where the heart muscle becomes weak, thick, or stiff, reducing its pumping efficiency.

🧠 What happens in cardiomyopathy?

The heart muscle may:

• Stretch and become weak (pump poorly)

• Become thick and stiff (fill poorly)

• Develop scar tissue (affects electrical signals)

This affects the heart’s ability to circulate blood to the body.
