Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cardiomyopathy is a progressive disorder that affects the muscle of the heart's ventricles, leading to enlargement, thickening, or stiffening of the ventricular walls. This can result in difficulty pumping blood out of the heart and lead to congestive heart failure. Ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia are both arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) that can occur in the ventricles and are not necessarily progressive disorders. Congestive heart failure can be a result of cardiomyopathy, but it is not a disorder of the ventricles itself.
