Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart that makes it hard for your heart to pump blood around the body.
Tests to further investigate concerns
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
An electrocardiogram is a test that measures and records your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm, including the strength and speed of your heartbeat.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound scan that shows the heart’s structure and surrounding blood vessels. It allows us to analyse how blood flows through them and assess the heart’s pumping chambers.
24 hour blood pressure monitor
A 24-hour blood pressure monitor is a portable blood pressure cuff attached to a small recording device to help detect your pressure levels outside the clinic setting.

Why do I feel weak - could it be my heart?
Generalised weakness has many causes, from anaemia and thyroid problems to medication effects - but a heart that pumps inefficiently, or an intermittent rhythm problem, can also present as weakness rather than classic chest symptoms, especially in older people.
When is sudden weakness an emergency?
Sudden weakness on one side of the body, facial drooping or slurred speech may be a stroke - call 999 immediately. Weakness with chest pain, severe breathlessness or collapse also needs emergency care.
How is unexplained weakness assessed?
A structured consultation and examination, blood tests to exclude common non-cardiac causes, an ECG, and where indicated an echocardiogram or ambulatory monitor. The aim is a clear explanation, not just reassurance.
