The difference is, this is VIRAL cardiomyopathy. That little viral word makes a huge difference in diagnosis. My husband had it at 28. Spent the next 9 years fighting it, as his blood type & tissue factor wasn't condusive to a transplant match.
Pull your boys away from internet diagnosing, and ask a pro before you print. Seriously.

"Many intrinsic cardiomyopathies now have identifiable external causes including drug and alcohol toxicity, certain infections (including Hepatitis C), and various genetic and idiopathic (i.e., unknown) causes."
Wow ...
Get well wishes and a speedy recovery.
