“In the United States, approximately 1.1 million people, have some form of cardiomyopathy.  In 2021, there were 14,770 hospitalizations for cardiomyopathy as the principal diagnosis, and it accounted for 23% of all heart failures.  Some people with cardiomyopathy don’t ever get symptoms. For others, symptoms appear as the condition becomes worse. ”
