Weak Heart in Adults.

    • Weak Heart in Adults.

      Weak heart (cardiomyopathy) is a disease of the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy consists of 3 basic words namely cardio which means heart, mio which means muscle, and starch which means disorder. In cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle becomes large, thick, and stiff. In certain cases, the heart muscle is replaced with scar tissue (scar tissue, so stiff).

      As the condition worsens, the heart gets weaker so that only a little blood is pumped and the heart rhythm can change. This can cause heart failure or a heart rhythm disorder called arrhythmia. Heart failure can cause a buildup of fluid in the lungs, lower limbs, and even the stomach. Heart weakness can also cause heart valve disorders.

      Cardiomyopathy can occur at any age. Cardiomyopathy can be present from birth and can also be obtained when growing up. This article focuses on cardiomyopathy in adults.
