Any disease or problem which it affects the cardiac muscle, which is known like cardiomiopatía, can cause that this one grows and increases of size to compensate the muscular weakness.

If the muscle also expanded is abnormal, the capacity is reduced still more to pump blood and although this problem can affect all the heart, generally the part that grows more is the left ventricle.

If the enlargement advances, will be an enormous risk of causing cardiac insufficiency, because the debilitated muscle does not pump of effective way. Then, the blood flows more slowly through the heart and tend to form clots that can cause one tromboembolia pulmonary or cerebral, an attack to the heart or infarct or another blockade circulatory.
