Does multiple sclerosis cause cardiomyopathy?
No. Multiple sclerosis affects the central nervous system, it
does not affect the peripheral nervous system, nor does it affect
the autonomic nervous system. Thus, heart function is unaffected by
MS.
Heart function is definitely affected by MS. There are BP
changes [orthotstatic hypotension] Heart Rate changes and ECG
variations are noted in PWMS [persons with MS] the Autonomic
Nervous system is very much influenced: bladder/blower problems,
sexual dysfunction, GI disturbances,olfactory loss, Dysfunction of
the ANS causes significant decline in performance in MS
persons.
