Cardiomyopathy ("heart muscle disease") is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium (the actual heart muscle) for any reason. People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death, or both. Ralph Offenhouse, a Human rescued by the USS Enterprise-D in 2364, originally died of the condition, but was revived and cured of it after his body was recovered in a cryogenically frozen state. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone" )

- Cardiomyopathy describes any deterioration of function of the actual muscle tissue of the heart. It usually means the patient is at a high risk for arythmia or heart attack. It is most often caused by a reduction of blood flow to the heart. It can be caused by several conditions, such as congenital heart disease, high blood pressure, alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, Chagas disease, anemia, sleep apnea, hyperthyroidism, haemochromatosis, and amyloidosis. However, it can also be caused by a heart attack.

However, it can also be caused by a heart attack. The most effective treatment is to treat the underlying condition, but it can also respond to the use of a pacemaker. However, in severe cases, a heart transplant may be the only effective treatment.
