Cardiomyopathy: Loss of heart muscle strength in the main pump of the heart. Most commonly from poor blood flow/heart attack/ cholesterol.

Poor heart function: The left ventricle is the part of the heart that pumps blood to the body. Hypokinesis means not pumping as well as it should. Global mean the whole left ventricle. Mild to moderate shows the degree of malfunction (as compared to normal or severe). Your doctor can help determine the cause of the poor function, but this could include heart attack, poor circulation, infection, or poor nutrition.
