http://www.tmc.edu/thi/myopathy.html

Extractions: (En español) "Cardiomyopathy" means "disease of the heart muscle." Cardiomyopathy damages the muscle tone of the heart and reduces its ability to pump blood to the rest of your body. Although only about 50,000 Americans have cardiomyopathy, it is a leading cause of heart failure and the most common reason for needing a heart transplant. Cardiomyopathy is so dangerous because it often goes unrecognized and untreated. Also, it is different from other heart problems because it frequently affects younger people. There are 4 main types of cardiomyopathy. Click below to learn more about causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Dilated Cardiomyopathy Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of cardiomyopathy. Also called congestive cardiomyopathy, it affects the chambers of the heart by weakening their walls. In most cases, doctors do not know the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. When the cause is unknown, it is called idiopathic.

http://www.tmc.edu/thi/restrict.html

Extractions: (En español) Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common form of cardiomyopathy. This condition gets its name from the way it restricts the heart from stretching properly. While the rhythm and pumping action of the heart may be healthy, the stiff walls of the heart chambers keep them from filling normally. So blood flow is reduced, and blood that would normally enter the heart is backed up in the circulatory system. In time, the heart fails. What causes it?

Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation - Description Of Disorder
This page describes the four basic forms of nonischemic cardiomyopathy, their occurrence rate, causes and general complications associated with the disease.
http://www.childrenscardiomyopathy.org/main/description.htm

Extractions: DESCRIPTION OF DISORDER Cardiomyopathy is a chronic and sometimes progressive disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium), is abnormally enlarged, thickened and/or stiffened. The condition typically begins in the walls of the heart's lower chambers (ventricles), and in more severe cases also affects the walls of the upper chambers (atria). The actual muscle cells as well as the surrounding tissues of the heart become damaged. Eventually, the weakened heart loses the ability to pump blood effectively and heart failure or irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias or dysrhythmia) may occur. Cardiomyopathy is classified as either "ischemic" or "nonischemic". All cases related to children and teenagers are considered "nonischemic" cardiomyopathy. Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy predominately involves the heart's abnormal structure and function. It does not involve the hardening of arteries on the heart surface typically associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Nonischemic cardiomyopathy can then be broken down into: 1) "primary cardiomyopathy" where the heart is predominately affected and the cause may be due to infectious agents or genetic disorders and 2) "secondary cardiomyopathy" where the heart is affected due to complications from another disease affecting the body (i.e. HIV, cancer, muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis). Cardiomyopathy is nondiscriminatory in that it can affect any adult or child at any stage of their life. It is not gender, geographic, race or age specific. It is a particularly rare disease when diagnosed in infants and young children. Cardiomyopathy continues to be the leading reason for heart transplants in children. Currently there are no published reports specifying the total number of children affected but it is roughly estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands when all forms of cardiomyopathy are taken into account. According to the national pediatric cardiomyopathy registry, 1 in every 100,000 children in the U.S. under the age of 18 is diagnosed with primary cardiomyopathy. This annual incidence rate, however, is extremely conservative. This number excludes the increasing number of children with secondary cardiomyopathy and the large pool of undiagnosed, asymptomatic cases.

Literally, the term "cardiomyopathy" means disease of the heart muscle. More specifically, cardiomyopathy (CM) is a disease of the heart muscle in which either the heart walls thicken greatly (hypertrophic and restrictive forms) or stretch greatly (dilated form). In either form, the heart's function is greatly compromised leading to an eventual state of heart failure. Return to menu. What Causes Cardiomyopathy? There have been several causes of CM identified. A deficiency of taurine, an essential amino acid, will cause dilated CM. Taurine was deficient in many commercial cat foods until its deficiency was identified; however, cat foods are now properly supplemented. Hyperthyroidism, a non-cancerous growth of the thyroid gland, can cause a variation of the hypertrophic form. The restrictive form is associated with an unidentified inflammatory process within the heart muscle. However, many cases of CM are not caused by any of these processes, and we do not understand their origin. Return to menu.

http://www.ferretnews.org/cardiomyopathy.html

Extractions: Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle which leads to impairment of the heart's ability to pump blood, and eventually to heart failure. It is the most common cause of heart failure in the ferret. There are two types of cardiomyopathy, dilatative and hypertrophic, with the dilatative form being most common in ferrets. In this disease the walls of the heart become increasingly thinner and weaker until a point is reached when the heart can no longer function effectively as a pump. The cause of cardiomyopathy is unknown in ferrets, although it has recently been discovered that in cats dilatative cardiomyopathy can be prevented with the addition of an amino acid (taurine) to the diet, and in dogs lack of another amino acid (carnitine) has been shown to cause the same disease. It is possible that a similar relationship may exist in ferrets, but this has not been established yet. Symptoms of cardiomyopathy are similar regardless of whether it is the dilatative or hypertrophic form. Weakness, lethargy, and breathing difficulty are commonly seen. Coughing may be a symptom also. As the heart begins to fail, blood pressure changes lead to an accumulation of fluid in the chest, making it increasingly difficult for the ferret to breathe, and thus reducing stamina. Other blood pressure changes may lead to enlargement of the liver and spleen, and the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, so the abdomen may look distended.
