2. Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy describes any disease of the heart muscle that causes a reduction in the force of heart muscle

contraction (e.g., congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and angina).

physician must be made aware of any additional supplementation program targeted at cardiac function.5-11
