* Valvular heart disease
* Alcohol
* Cardiomyopathies
* Familial cardiomyopathy
* Infections, such as viral myocarditis
* Congenital heart disease

* Drugs, such as chemotherapy agents, methamphetamines, cocaine
* Nutritional, such as obesity, thiamine deficiency
* Chronic arrhythmias, e.g. uncontrolled AF, or bradycardia (complete heart block)
Lifestyle treatments:
