Answer: The correct answer is : A diuretic

Explanation: Cardiomyopathy is a disease where the myocardium weakens, the heart cannot function well. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the cardiac muscle thickens in an abnormal way, making it difficult for the blood to flow out of the heart and must exert more effort than usual to pump the blood.
