Feedback:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with syncope (sudden loss of consciousness) or near-syncopal episodes, which the client may describe as "graying out". Dilated cardiomyopathy, the most common type, is accompanied by dyspnea on exertion and when lying down. Restrictive cardiomyopathy has symptoms of exertional dyspnea, dependent edema in the legs, ascites (fluid in the abdomen), and hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). Arrhythmic cardiomyopathy is inherited.
