Disease of the heart muscle (myocardium).

See: Dilated cardiomyopathy.

See: Doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.

A heart defect characterized by increased thickness (hypertrophy) of the wall of the left ventricle, the largest of the four chambers of the heart.

A condition in which there is direct and widespread damage to the heart muscle, weakening it. The condition can be due to various causes such as viral infections and severe alcohol abuse, and can lead to an enlarged, thickened and dilated heart, as well as heart failure.

A disease which causes heart muscle weakness.

n. any severe disease affecting the heart muscle. Usually, heart muscle disease is followed by a deterioration in function and, consequently, possible heart failure. Early symptoms include shortness o [..]

A disease of the heart muscle with an uncertain cause.

chronic heart disease (pop)

(n) a disorder (usually of unknown origin) of the heart muscle (myocardium)

  Disease of the heart muscle.

A disorder of the heart muscle often of unknown cause which can be divided into three main groups according to structure and functional features: Dilated (or congestive), Hypertrophic and Restrictive.

literally, disease of the heart muscle that often leads to abnormal function.
