Cardiomyopathy

Today I once again decided to read up on cardiovascular disease and the disease that i read about today is Cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy literally means "heart muscle disease" and you'll be suprised to know that Cardiomyopathy and Ischemia are related because Cardiomyopathy is most commonly caused by ischemia. This would be Ischemic cardiomyopathy. Now Ischemic cardiomyopathy gennerally happens when the heart's miyocardium (artery) doesn't get enough oxygen which is caused by coranary artery disease and so the heart is unable to regulate is self correctly which may cause falure to the bodies system because the bodys engine e.g. the heart stop and so does the victim. Because of how Americans eat in todays world there is a great chance by eating fast food everyday you can develop such a disease coranary artery becomes cloged and is the main source of oxygen for the heart and if your body doesn't get the air or the air regularly you will probably contract this disease and also possibly die or you could have a transtplant for either for of cardiomyopathy but I will explain that at a later date.

One last thing rember moderation is key.
