Chronic disease of the heart muscle,
  1. Chronic disease of the heart muscle

  1. a disorder (usually of unknown origin) of the heart muscle (myocardium)
  2. Cardiomyopathy, which literally means "heart muscle disease," is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium (i.e., the actual heart muscle) for any reason. People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death or both.
  3. The deterioration of the myocardium
  4. The heart may become damaged due to infection, chronic alcohol abuse, use of certain chemotherapy drugs, cocaine, or scarring from diseases. The damage results in inadequate contraction of the heart muscle, which can lead to CHF.
  5. An enlarged heart that no longer pumps effectively. Some ccardiomyopathies have known causes, such as alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Many occur for no known reason, and are called idiopathic.
  6. A disease in which an enlarged or damaged heart is severely weakened.Back
  7. General diagnostic term designating primary myocardial disease that may lead to chronic heart disease.
  8. A weakening of the heart muscle (myocardium), which usually causes inadequate heart pumping. It can be caused by viral infections, heart attacks, alcoholism, long-term and severe hypertension (high blood pressure).
  9. A degenerative condition of the heart muscle, cardiomyopathy may be caused by HIV, or by some drugs.
  10. damage to the heart muscle that decreases its ability to pump blood effectively
  11. A generic term for diseases of the heart muscle. The most common form is dilated cardiomyopathy, in which the heart muscle is weakened, causing left ventricular dilation and, in turn, elevated diastolic blood pressure and volume.
  12. A condition that weakens the heart muscle or causes a change in heart muscle structure. Cardiomyopathy is associated with inadequate heart pumping or other heart function abnormalities. Cardiomyopathy may occur in HIV-infected people with advanced disease. ...
  13. A diagnostic term indicating structural damage to the myocardium. Classified as dilated (enlarged), hypertrophic (excessively thick myocardium) or restrictive (stiff myocardium).
  14. Heart condition which took JB's life in 1995
  15. Any disease that affects the structure and function of the heart.
  16. Primary heart muscle disease, often of obscure or unknown etiology, unassociated with coronary disease, hypertension, valve disease, and so on.
  17. the heart muscle itself is diseased and does not function normally.
  18. The name for several heart conditions, the most common of which is enlargement and stretching of the walls, making it weak and unable to pump normally. This condition can lead to congestive heart failure as well as arrhythmias and other cardiac problems.
  19. Any disease of heart muscle that diminishes cardiac function
  20. An abnormal heart condition in which the heart is dilated (poor pumping power), restrictive (impaired ability of the heart to fill) and hypertrophic (enlarged heart).
  21. Cardiomyopathy is a serious disease in which the heart muscle becomes inflamed and doesn't work as well as it should. There may be multiple causes including viral infections.
