Cardiomyopathy: Definition

Enlargement of the heart cavities which are wider and thinner walls than those of a normal heart.
Dilated cardiomyopathy progresses to failure of the heart pump in its entirety (congestive heart failure) whose treatment is difficult or impossible.

For some medical teams, non-obstructive cardiomyopathy are among the myocardial damage accompanied by viral or microbial diseases (in general) and metabolic diseases known as some thésaurismoses, hemochromatosis, hormonal disorders, violations affecting the nerves and muscles in general, collagen, and some intoxications (including alcohol).
For WHO, cardiomyopathy is limited to diseases resulting from a breach of the heart muscle whose cause is unknown.
