Dilated cardiomyopathy: The heart muscle stretches (dilates), weakens, and becomes enlarged. This is the most common type. It mainly occurs in adults ages 20 to 60. It often has no known cause, and may be inherited (passed from one generation to the next). Known causes can include heart disease, high blood pressure, heavy alcohol use, and infection.
