Is ischaemic cardiomyopathy hereditary?
I was born with a slight heart murmur and spent three days in a special incubator. For years I have suffered palpitations and arrhythmia, and have experienced four episodes of tachycardia, though nothing life threatening. I have just found out that my paternal grandfather died aged 45 from ischaemic cardiomyopathy. I was wondering if that is hereditary? Or if my problem is part of a genetic susceptibility to heart conditions?I am 26, and not overweight. I also don't drink or smoke, and my diet is healthy.

If you have cardiomyopathy due to Friedreich's ataxia how does the heart stop?
I know it enlarges the ventriculars and all, but my question is, how does the heart stop working? I know about heart attacks being a possibility, but does the heart keep enlarging until it just gives out? And what happens on the outside? Shortness of breath? Blue toes and fingers from lack of oxygen? Dilated eyes?

What is ischemic cardiomyopathy?
Once diagnosed with idiopathic cardiomyopathy am I considered to have this condition for the rest of my life?
I had some issues in 2009 at the age of 29 while at work. felt horrible, exhausted, short of breath, chest pains, palpitations, and other symptoms. My co worker took me to the fire department to get checked out and from there I was transported to the ER. My infraction rate had dropped to 40 %. Since than I have been on medications such as Coreg, Lisinopril, and Isosobride to name a few. I have had to resign from my job with the City this past April. It has been over a year since I have worked. The last visit to the cardiologist I was told that my infraction rate was back to 60 % low end normal finally after two years of being on meds. I still get palpitations from time to time and the chest pains are gone thanks to the meds I guess. I will have to take these meds for the rest of my life according to the Doctors. I am concerned with a few things. 1. I have never worked indoors and even though I can do any job asked of me along with my business degrees I have found it next to impossible to find a job inside when I have always worked outdoors. I am over qualified to work in my previous job, but was concerned that if I applied for it and got the position I may cause myself harm and relapse if you will. 2. Even more important, will I be considered to have this " heart issue" for the rest of my life? I ask this because the long term disability I personally paid for is wanting to review my records to see if they are going to continue benefits. It's bad enough I have lost my job over this health issue, including my medical and other benefits. Now I am concerned of losing my only income as well. I figured that I would post here in order to hear other peoples stories as to what they have experienced. I'm still attending school in order to gain the education required to find that right job so I'm not to worried about this, things will happen sooner or later. I am more worried about having complications later on at my young age. I have a family to take care of and support and I want to be around later down the road to see my kids grow up. Anyway, that's my brief story. Lastly, are there any groups out there where someone can become more informed. There are tons of Cancer type groups to become aware of issues and join to meet others with the same issue, but are there any for heart patients?Yes, ejection fraction rate is the correct term for what I was having troubles with. The amount of blood being pumped out of the heart and into the body. A normal persons ejection fraction rate is about 65 % as you can never have the complete 100 % pumped out. Mine was down to 40 % when I had started having heart trouble. Some people have ejection fraction rates of only 15 % and they are still able to live just fine, though there is a lot of restrictions as to what they can do.
