cardiomiopatiile
Cardiomiopatiile are a group of diseases of the heart muscle that make it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. These conditions affect the myocardium, the muscular tissue of the heart. There are several main types of cardiomyopathy, each with distinct characteristics. Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by an enlarged and weakened left ventricle, leading to reduced pumping efficiency. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy involves thickening of the heart muscle, particularly the left ventricle, which can obstruct blood flow. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common type, where the heart muscle becomes stiff and less flexible, hindering the ventricles' ability to fill with blood.
The causes of cardiomyopathy can vary. Some forms are genetic, inherited from family members. Others can be
