Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

• Sometimes the walls of the hearts lower chambers
  (ventricles) become so much rigid that they are
  unable to expand even after filled with blood.
  This condition is restrictive cardiomyopathy. The
  ventricles cannot receive enough blood, although
  they have normal pumping ability. The heart
  ultimately cant pump properly and this leads to
  heart failure. The timely treatment by a heart
  doctor in Kolkata can reduce complications.

Diagnosis

• A cardiology doctor in Kolkata will properly
  examine your medical history and ask whether any
  of your family members had heart disease or not.
  A physical exam will also help him/her to check
  the symptoms. You may have to undergo the
  following diagnostic tests
• Electrocardiogram (ECG) This test helps the
  doctor to check the conduction of electrical
  impulses through your heart.
• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan and
  echocardiogram The doctor can know your hearts
  structure through these tests. He/she can also
  check your hearts functionality and the blood
  flow through the heart.
• Cardiac catheterization The doctor inserts a
  catheter (thin plastic tube) into the heart
  through the blood vessels. Some tests like
  measuring the pressure within the hearts
  chambers and using x-rays or ultrasound to know
  the hearts structure and function are possible
  in this procedure.
• Myocardial biopsy To identify the cause of
  restrictive cardiomyopathy, the doctor sometimes
  carries out this test. It involves surgically
  removing a tissue sample from your heart and
  examining it under a microscope.

Treatment

• The main focus of the best cardiologist in
  Kolkata during your treatment is to reduce and
  control the symptoms. Medications and lifestyle
  changes are the different treatment options.
• Lifestyle Changes
• Diet The amount of sodium intake from your food
  becomes important after you start having symptoms
  like fatigue or shortness of breath. Try to obey
  the doctors instructions regarding your diet.
• Exercise You should ask your doctor about your
  exercise routine. As people with restrictive
  cardiomyopathy have difficulty in breathing and
  fatigue, the doctor will advise you to
• Exercise at that time of the day when your energy
  is high
• Start slowly and then increase your pace
• Medications
• You may get better by taking ACE inhibitors and
  beta-blockers. The doctor will prescribe other
  medicines like diuretics, aldosterone inhibitors
  and digoxin if necessary. He/she may advise you
  to take certain medicines if you have an
  arrhythmia. These will help to reduce the
  frequency of arrhythmia or control your heart
  rate.
• Surgery
• A heart transplant may be necessary if the
  condition is severe.
