What Are the Signs and Symptoms of
Cardiomyopathy?
Some people with cardiomyopathy never have symptoms,
and others have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. As
cardiomyopathy progresses and the heart weakens, signs and symptoms of
heart
failure usually appear. These signs and symptoms include:
- Tiredness
- Weakness
- Shortness of breath after exercise or even at
rest
- Swelling of the abdomen, legs, ankles, and
feet
Other signs and symptoms can include dizziness,
lightheadedness, fainting during exercise, abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), and an extra or unusual sound heard during the
heartbeat (heart
murmur).
