What is cardiomyopathy?

Condition analysis:
Cardiomyopathy is an abnormal heart condition in which the heart is dilated (poor pumping power), restrictive (impaired ability of the heart to fill) and hypertrophic (thickened).

Instructions:
Vitamin E: Vitamin E is another vitamin that is important for cardiomyopathy.
Animal studies have shown that cardiomyopathy problems are more likely to be worse in the animals that have simultaneous deficiencies of selenium and vitamin E. Either supplementation was found to restore the harmful effect of the deficiency. Furthermore, vitamin E was found to protect the heart against cardiomyopathy caused by magnesium deficiency also.

Vitamin E has antiviral and antioxidant properties. It may help protect the heart against infection and toxins. It may also help prevent the development of atherosclerosis that could make a failing heart even weaker.

Take 400 IU of Vitamin E daily.
Note: If you are taking anticoagulant drugs, do not take vitamin E supplements.
