About
Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a group of diseases affecting the heart muscle, leading to impaired cardiac function and increasing the risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular complications. As nurses, understanding cardiomyopathy, including its common forms such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiac amyloidosis, and heart failure, is vital for providing effective care and improving patient outcomes. Common related disease states include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac amyloidosis.

Nurses' role in patient education, symptom management, and coordination of multidisciplinary care is vital in addressing cardiomyopathy and its complications. By recognizing these conditions early and advocating for tailored interventions, you can help mitigate their impact on cardiovascular health.
