Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Overview :
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common type of cardiomyopathy in the United States. The stiffened heart walls cannot stretch properly to allow enough blood to fill the ventricles between heartbeats. As the stiffening worsens, heart failure occurs. The blood backs up into the blood vessels, causing fluid buildup in tissues (congestion and edema).
