Cardiomyopathy in people over 65
There is an increased incidence of ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy in elderly patients, (10% of people who develop dilated cardiomyopathy are likely to be over 65 years).
Cardiomyopathy occurs in three major types:
Dilated cardiomyopathy. This type involves enlargement of one or more of your heart's chambers.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This form involves thickening of your heart's muscle.
Cardiomyopathy, which literally means "heart muscle disease," is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium for any reason. People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death or both.

Other Symptoms ...
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition in which the heart's ability to pump blood is decreased because the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged and stiff; ...
Dilated cardiomyopathy is myocardial dysfunction causing heart failure in which ventricular dilation and systolic dysfunction predominate. Symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue, and peripheral edema.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form, causing enlargement of both of the heart's ventricles, or pumping chambers. The enlargement weakens the heart and may cause eventual heart failure.
Dilated cardiomyopathy: A disorder in which the chambers of the heart are dilated (enlarged) because the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump effectively.
Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a disorder in which excessive, habitual use of alcohol weakens the heart muscle so that it cannot pump blood efficiently.
Alternative Names
Cardiomyopathy - alcoholic
Causes ...
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the walls of the heart become thick and rigid. The heart is then not able to fill with a normal amount of blood.
What is going on in the body?
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy may be inherited, caused by an abnormality in the gene that codes the characteristics for the heart muscle.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heart condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick. The thickened heart muscle can cause the heart to have difficulty pumping blood.
