Cardiomyopathies

Cardiomyopathies are a group of heart muscle diseases that can affect the heart's structure and function, leading to heart failure and other complications. These diseases can be caused by genetic mutations, heart muscle injury, or infiltration of the heart tissues. There are different types of cardiomyopathies, such as dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy, each with its own characteristics and potential causes. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these diseases is crucial for their management and treatment.
