Match each type of cardiomyopathy with its description.

Arrhythmogenic
This is when one of the heart’s ventricles becomes enlarged. It is more common in males than in females. This type of heart disease can occur at any age and may or may not be inherited.
This is a thickening of the heart muscle. It often starts during childhood or the teen years. This is called pediatric cardiomyopathy. The slow thickening of the heart muscle does not always have symptoms and can cause sudden, surprise death in adulthood. This condition is usually inherited. It is important that all family members of someone with this type of heart disease be tested to ensure that they don’t have this condition as well.
This is the scarring and/or stiffening of the heart muscle. This is the least common condition of the four cardiomyopathy conditions.
This is the condition of an irregular heart rhythm or heartbeat. This condition is usually inherited and is more common in males than in females.

__________ is a term used for several different diseases/conditions of the heart muscle. There are many causes of these diseases. Likewise, there are many different symptoms and treatments as well. These diseases can affect males and females of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. In these diseases, the muscle in the heart changes to become thick, thin, stiff, or filled with fluid that does not belong in the heart. When that happens, the heart has a reduced ability to pump blood. The inability to pump blood can result in irregular heartbeats, blood backing up into the lungs or other areas of the body, or heart failure.

Plaque buildup causes the inside of the arteries to narrow over time, which could partially or totally block the blood flow. This process is called __________.
Myocardial infarction
Angina
Cardiomyopathy
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis
List five risk factors for heart disease and explain why they could lead to heart disease. If you have a personal risk factor, indicate that.
Your Answer:
Some risk factors could be smoking, high blood pressure, high LCD, lack of physical activity, and being obese or overweight. The reason these cause heart attacks is due to the damage that is done to the arteries.
