Cardiomyopathy is a condition of the heart. With this condition the heart muscle is diseased and cannot function properly. With this condition oxygenated blood cannot be pumped adequately and therefore causes an inability to deliver oxygenated blood to bodily tissues.

What are symptoms of viral cardiomyopathy?

The symptoms of a viral infection are known to us all. Fever, tiredness, runny nose, sore throat, sore body etc. The sore body is sore muscles which is a myositis (inflammation of skeletal muscle). Happening at the same time is often a myocarditis (inflammation of heart muscle). This is very common and it normally resolves without consequense. Occasionally in some people an unusual reaction occurs resulting in inflammation, scarring and destruction of the heart muscle. This leads to heart failure symptoms and a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy.
