D. fever is NOT a symptom of cardiomyopathy, and A. physical activity is NOT a lifestyle risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle that can lead to reduced heart function and a range of symptoms. Common symptoms include bloating (often related to fluid retention), fatigue, and dizziness due to poor blood circulation. Fever, on the other hand, is usually not a direct symptom of cardiomyopathy, as it may indicate an infection or another inflammatory process in the body rather than a heart muscle disorder.
Regarding lifestyle risk factors for cardiovascular disease, physical activity is actually protective against heart disease, so it is not a risk factor; on the contrary, it is recommended to lower your risk. Obesity, diabetes, and tobacco use are all recognized as risk factors that can increase a person's likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases including, but not limited to, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and hypertension.
