Answer by gangadharan nair
Heart disease (which is caused by a narrowing of the arteries) and poorly controlled high blood pressure are the most common causes of dilated cardiomyopathy. These problems lead to a weakened and enlarged heart muscle.
There are many other causes of dilated cardiomyopathy, including:–
* Alcohol or cocaine abuse, or medicines that can be toxic to the heart (such as drugs used to treat cancer)
* Abnormal heart rhythms in which the heart beats very fast for a long period of time
* Autoimmune illnesses, when the immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake
* Conditions that run in families
* Infections that involve the heart muscle
* Heart valves that are either too narrow or too leaky (regurgitant)
* Trace elements, such as lead, arsenic, or mercury
This condition can affect anyone at any age. However, it is most common in adult men.
