∙ 12y agoIn its early stages, cardiomyopathy often has no signs and symptoms. As the condition advances, however, a number of symptoms can appear. These include: breathlessness with or without exertion, swelling of legs, ankles and feet, abdominal bloating due to fluid build-up, fatigue, rapid, pounding or fluttering heartbeat, endocarditis, an inflammation of the heart lining, dizziness and fainting. Weight gain and blood clots may also occur in some cases. Cardiomyopathy worsens unless treated. This happens rapidly in some people, while only gradually in others.
