What is X-linked cardiomyopathy?

X-linked cardiomyopathy is a genetic heart condition that primarily affects males, caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. This disorder can lead to a range of symptoms, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and reduced life expectancy due to the progressive nature of the disease. It is often associated with other conditions such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy due to the overlapping genetic factors.
