Question:
What happens in Cardiomyopathy? What does it lead to?
Answer:
The Myocardium becomes enlarged, thick, or rigid.
As the cardiomyopathy progresses, the myocardium is weakened. The heart pumps less effectively, leading to heart failure, and has difficulty maintaining normal electrical conduction, leading to arrhythmias.
Question:
What is Aortic Aneurysms? What are the symptoms?
Answer:
Walls of arteries can weaken and balloon outward because of high pressures, plaque and infections.
Rupture of an aortic aneurysm is a medical emergency, and only about 20% of patients survive.
Most aneurysms are asymptomatic until they rupture.
