What Is Cardiomyopathy?

Cardiomyopathy is just a fancy way of saying your heart muscle isn’t working quite as well as it should. It’s like a weak link in the pump, making it harder for your heart to send blood on its grand tour throughout your body. There are a few different types of cardiomyopathy, each with its own cause, kind of like having different flavors of “uh oh” for your heart.

Here’s the rundown on the most common ones:

• Dilated Cardiomyopathy: This is the most popular type, where the main pumping chamber of your heart (the left ventricle) gets a little stretched out and lazy.
• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Think of this as your heart muscle getting a bit too enthusiastic and bulking up. Not the kind of gym gains you might be hoping for.
• Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: Imagine your heart muscle turning into a stiff board, making it difficult to relax and fill up with blood properly. Not exactly the rhythm you want for a healthy beat.
• Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: This one targets the right side of your heart, potentially causing some funky electrical issues and messing with your heart rhythm.

As for symptoms, they can be a real mixed bag, depending on how serious things are. Some folks might not feel a thing, while others might experience fatigue, shortness of breath, swollen ankles (like you’ve been standing in line all day!), chest pain, or even heart palpitations – that feeling like your heart is doing a little tap dance behind your ribs.

Burial Insurance Underwriting For Cardiomyopathy Patients

Burial insurance companies that offer first-day coverage insurance have two ways of underwriting your health:

SECOND – Your prescription history will be checked to verify your overall health.

The insurance companies will ask about cardiomyopathy in several ways. Here are some examples:

• Have you been treated for heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or heart or circulatory issues?
• Prior to the age of 50 or during the past 24 months, have you been diagnosed as having or been hospitalized for cardiomyopathy, heart disease, or circulatory problems?
• Have you been diagnosed with or been advised to receive treatment or medication for cardiomyopathy or any type of heart or circulatory surgery?
• In the past 10 years, have you opted not to seek treatment, have not taken medication, and have not followed the prescribed treatment plan for cardiomyopathy, heart disease, or circulatory issues?

Common medications for cardiomyopathy include:

• ACE inhibitors (Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril)
• Anti-arrhythmic medications (Amiodarone, Flecainide, Quinidine)
• Anticoagulants (blood thinners) Heparin, Warfarin, Coumadin)
• Beta-blockers (Atenolol, Metoprolol, Nadolol)
• Vasodilators (Sildenafil, Tadalafil, Bosentan)

The presence of these drugs in your prescription history will indicate to the insurance company that you have a history of cardiomyopathy or heart disease.
