    Beta blockers are used in both cases, but treatment with diuretics, a mainstay of CHF treatment, will exacerbate symptoms in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy by decreasing ventricular preload volume and thereby increasing outflow resistance (less blood to push aside the thickened obstructing tissue).

    Beta blocker. Skeletal formula of propranolol, the first clinically successful beta blocker. Beta blockers, also spelled β-blockers, are a class of medications that are predominantly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and to protect the heart from a second heart attack after a first heart attack (secondary prevention).

  4. According to the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association, HCM is the most common genetic heart condition, affecting at least 1 in every 500 adults—possibly more, given that as many as half of ...

    Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a disease where prolonged tachycardia (a fast heart rate) or arrhythmia (an irregular heart rhythm) causes an impairment of the myocardium (heart muscle), which can result in heart failure. [1][5] People with TIC may have symptoms associated with heart failure (e.g. shortness of breath or ankle ...

    Cardiology. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of the signs and symptoms of heart failure, which typically includes difficulty breathing (dyspnea), leg or feet swelling, and fatigue. [ 1 ] ADHF is a common and potentially serious cause of acute respiratory distress. The condition is caused by severe congestion of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmogenic_cardiomyopathy

    Cardiology. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease. [ 1 ] ACM is caused by genetic defects of parts of the cardiac muscle known as desmosomes, areas on the surface of muscle cells which link them together. The desmosomes are composed of several proteins, and many of those proteins can have harmful mutations.
