What is secondary cardiomyopathy?

Condition analysis:
    Caused by a medical condition (such as hypertension, valve disease, congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, or toxins/medications). Some of these conditions can be treated, which can prevent the muscle affected. The goal of therapy for patients with secondary cardiomyopathy is to identify and correct the medical condition(s) that are responsible for the condition.

Coronary artery disease is a common and potentially reversible cause of cardiomyopathy. Ischemia means that an area of the body isn’t getting enough blood, often because there is a problem with the blood vessels. So, cardiomyopathy is often broken down into two categories, ischemic and non-ischemic, depending on whether coronary artery disease is causing the condition.
