Cardiomiopatía dilatada
La cardiomiopatía dilatada implica el aumento del tamaño del músculo cardíaco y es el tipo más común de cardiomiopatía. El músculo cardíaco se debilita y no puede bombear la sangre eficientemente. La función cardíaca disminuida afecta a los pulmones, hígado y otros órganos del cuerpo.
