Atherogenic Cardiomyopathy

Atherogenic cardiomyopathy is a type of heart disease caused by the buildup of fatty deposits within the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. This buildup narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow and oxygen delivery, leading to damage or weakening of the heart muscle over time. It is often linked to atherosclerosis and can result in symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart failure if untreated. Managing risk factors such as high cholesterol, diet, exercise, and medications can help prevent or slow its progression.
