No it not genetic-it is caused by a virus that attacks the heart muscle. CHF is not genetic either it has many different causes but none are genetic.
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.
many many many things. but the definition of cardiomyopathy is a low ejection fraction... under 50%.
Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that not only affects middle-aged and elderly persons, but can also affect infants, children, and adolescents
It is a form of cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease) in which the heart is weakened, dilated and cannot adequately pump the blood through the body (CBC health news). It is more common in men than women. Two possible causes are chemotherapy and viral infections.
Absolutely!
Yes, individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) may be at increased risk for viral cardiomyopathy. The impaired lung function and systemic inflammation associated with COPD can exacerbate cardiovascular issues, making patients more vulnerable to viral infections that affect the heart. Additionally, respiratory infections can lead to exacerbations of COPD, further stressing the heart and potentially leading to complications like cardiomyopathy. It's important for COPD sufferers to monitor their heart health and consult healthcare providers for appropriate management.
glycogen cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a form of cardiomyopathy in which the walls of the heart become rigid.
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
Congestive cardiomyopathy
Hiliary dies in the last part of the movie....there is probably 15 minutes or so left in the movie, and she died of a heart defect.....I believe viral cardiomyopathy.
Yes, viral genes can redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell by hijacking the host cell's machinery to replicate the virus. This can lead to changes in the host cell's gene expression and metabolism to favor viral replication and spread.
Primary cardiomyopathy not elsewhere classified
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
No. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
i am not really sure
