Cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the heart muscle (heart muscle). Cardiomyopathy can make the heart hard, enlarged, or thickened, causing scar tissue. Cardiomyopathy prevents the heart from pumping blood efficiently to other parts of the body. This may cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations. Cardiomyopathy worsens over time. Treatment can slow progression and improve quality of life. Over time, the heart weakens and cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure. Treatment can help. Some people with cardiomyopathy eventually need a heart transplant. Cardiomyopathy can affect people of all ages and races. About 1 in 500 adults have cardiomyopathy. Certain types of cardiomyopathies are more common in some people than others. For example, dilated cardiomyopathy is more common among blacks. Dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmic cardiomyopathy are more likely to occur in men.
