What are the symptoms of Dilated Cardiomyopathy? What causes Dilated Cardiomyopathy?

The most prevalent type of nonischemic cardiomyopathy is dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Because the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged, dilated, and weak in dilated cardiomyopathy, the heart's ability to pump blood is reduced. Initially, the chambers of the heart extend to accommodate extra blood to pump across the body. For a brief time, this serves to strengthen the heart's contractions and keep the blood circulating. The heart muscle walls deteriorate over time and are unable to pump as efficiently. When the kidneys are overworked, they often retain fluid (water) and salt. The body becomes congested when fluid builds up in the legs, ankles, feet, lungs, or other organs, and congestive heart failure is the phrase used to describe this disease.

What are the symptoms of DCM?

Dilated cardiomyopathy affects many persons who have no or minor symptoms. Other people experience symptoms, which may intensify as their cardiac function deteriorates. Dilated cardiomyopathy symptoms can appear at any age and include:

 

Breathing problems.

Legs and feet are swollen.

Fatigue, inability to exercise or engage in normal activities.

Fluid retention causes weight gain, cough, and congestion.

Abnormal cardiac rhythms cause palpitations or fluttering in the chest.

Lightheadedness or dizziness.

Fainting.

Blood clots as a result of the slower flow of blood through the body. A blood clot can travel to the lungs, kidneys, brain, or limbs if it breaks off.
