Answer

This is a heart disease called dilated cardiomyopathy. You can read about it here
www.fabcats.org/cardiomyopathy.html
"This condition is characterised by enlargement of the heart chambers and weakening of the heart muscle. When this occurs the heart is no longer able to pump the blood out of the heart in sufficient quantities to meet demand. "

Hope this helps you!
