Cardiomyopathy
What it is
This is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump
blood to the rest of your body.
-
Types: The heart muscle can become enlarged, thick, or rigid.
-
Our Approach: We use advanced Echocardiography to assess heart muscle mass and function, tailoring treatments to improve your heart's pumping efficiency
Frequently Asked Questions :
No; a heart attack is a plumbing issue (blockage), while cardiomyopathy is a structural issue with the heart muscle itself.
Echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart) is the primary way we see how the heart muscle is functioning.
In many cases, ICDs or Pacemakers are used to help the heart pump correctly or prevent dangerous rhythms.
