Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. Despite scientific progress and outstanding achievements in the field of medicine, cardiomyopathy is still very common in medical practice. The danger is that the disease can develop without symptoms and without arousing suspicion. The best prevention is timely diagnosis and support from a cardiologist. It is necessary to analyze the properties and causes of the disease and also to identify how much attention is paid to the science of combating cardiomyopathy. Disease Overview Cardiomyopathy is a disease associated with a gradual increase in the volume of the left ventricle and, as a consequence, resulting in the formation of heart failure. Heart disease can be acute or chronic; it is quite common, and a similar pathology is found in 5-8% of citizens (Moretti and Erdmann 134). The situation is complicated by the fact that cardiomyopathies and myocarditis, in most cases, are detected by chance and at rather advanced stages. Common symptoms of cardiomyopathy:   * Swelling of the lower limbs, legs, and ankles;   * Enlarged abdomen due to the accumulation of excess fluid;   * Increasing shortness of breath;   * Feeling of pressure in the chest area;   * General weakness and loss of strength;   * Pulling pain and heaviness under the right rib (Moretti and Erdmann 137). Gradually, with the development of the disease, the blood stagnates in the liver, and it increases in size. Rapid heartbeat, attacks of “sinking” of the heart, and low blood pressure are observed (Moretti and Erdmann 140). Over time, dizziness occurs regularly, up to the loss of consciousness, as blood circulation in the brain worsens. Types of Disease Modern cardiology divides myocardial pathologies, united under the concept of cardiomyopathies, into different types. The first type is a violation of the heart chambers, and their expansion is referred to as dilated cardiomyopathy; it is the most common and very difficult. Gradually, the heart begins to fail to cope with its function. An abnormal enlargement of the heart is called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Moretti and Erdmann 98). It often becomes the cause of death of young people. The disease associated with the restriction of blood flow into the aorta from the left ventricle belongs to the obstructive type of cardiomyopathy. The key guarantee of a cure for the patient is a timely diagnosis. It allows for to detect of pathology in time and to receive effective treatment. During a routine examination, it is impossible to determine the presence of changes in the heart muscle (Moretti and Erdmann 91). The enlargement of the heart is easily detected by echocardiography and electrocardiography. The attending cardiologist may additionally prescribe magnetic resonance imaging or radiopaque ventriculography. Treatment of the Disease In the first stage, a comprehensive diagnosis is carried out; the patient undergoes echocardiography and Holter ECG monitoring. After determining the type of disease and the underlying causes, the cardiologist selects the appropriate therapy and prescribes a course of treatment (Moretti and Erdmann 99). The tactics will depend on many factors, including the anatomical fe
