Diseases
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is when the walls of the lower chambers of your heart (called the ventricles) are too rigid to expand as they fill with blood. The pumping ability of the ventricles may be normal, but it's harder for the ventricles to get enough blood. With time, the heart can't pump properly.
SYMPTOMS
- Shortness of breath (at first with exercise; but over time it occurs at rest)
- Fatigue (feeling overly tired)
- Inability to exercise.
- Swelling of the legs and feet.
- Weight gain.
- Nausea, bloating, and poor appetite (related to fluid retention)
CAUSES
- Build-up of scar tissue (often for no known reason).
- Build-up of abnormal proteins (amyloidosis) in the heart muscle.
- Chemotherapy or chest exposure to radiation.
- Excess iron (hemochromatosis) in the heart.
- Other systemic diseases (sarcoidosis).
