Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy

Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart muscle weakens or enlarges without being caused by blocked arteries or reduced blood flow. This weakening affects the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, or swelling. Unlike heart problems caused by clogged arteries, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy may result from genetic factors, infections, toxins, or other diseases. It requires medical assessment and management to improve heart function and prevent complications such as heart failure.
