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.
Cardiomyopathy is caused by?
many many many things. but the definition of cardiomyopathy is a low ejection fraction... under 50%.
Who does Cardiomyopathy affect?
Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that not only affects middle-aged and elderly persons, but can also affect infants, children, and adolescents
What is a floppy heart?
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.
Does smoking make people with cardiomyopathy worse?
Absolutely!
Is viral cardiomyopathy curable?
Viral cardiomyopathy is often not considered curable, but it can be manageable. The condition arises from viral infections that damage the heart muscle, leading to heart failure or other complications. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms, improving heart function, and addressing the underlying viral infection when possible. In some cases, individuals may experience significant recovery, but long-term monitoring is usually necessary.
Are COPD sufferers at risk for viral cardiomyopathy?
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.
What is glycogen cardiomyopathy?
glycogen cardiomyopathy
What is restrictive cardiomyopathy?
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a form of cardiomyopathy in which the walls of the heart become rigid.
What is post viral cardiomyopathy?
Post-viral cardiomyopathy is a form of heart muscle inflammation that occurs following a viral infection, often affecting individuals who have recovered from illnesses like influenza or COVID-19. The immune response triggered by the virus can lead to damage of the heart tissue, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeats. This condition can vary in severity and may lead to long-term complications, including heart failure, if not properly managed. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and managing symptoms.
Is cystic fibrosis a viral disease?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
What is the most common form of cardiomyopathy?
Congestive cardiomyopathy
When did hillary die in the movie beaches?
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.
Do viral genes redirect the genetic and metabolic activities of a host cell?
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.
What is prim cardiomyopathy nec?
Primary cardiomyopathy not elsewhere classified
Is this true Cystic fibrosis is a viral disease?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
Is cystic fibrosis viral?
