It can develop after injury (such as a heart attack) or from long-term stress on the heart (such as high blood pressure). It is commonly discussed in cardiology because it can affect heart pumping, relaxation, and electrical stability. It is assessed using clinical history and tests like echocardiography and cardiac MRI, and sometimes with biopsy."}
