Dilated Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition where the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes enlarged and weakened. This enlargement reduces the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling in the legs and abdomen. The exact cause of Dilated Cardiomyopathy can vary and may include genetic factors, viral infections, or long-term alcohol abuse. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like echocardiograms and may require additional tests to determine the underlying cause. Treatment options often include medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgical interventions.
