what type of disease are you trying to diagnose? you need to be specific..if you are asking for the mechanism itself, you better start with the classical symptoms presented by the patient. hypothetico-deductive reasoning is the best pathway you can use to deduce the patient's pathophysiological state.

Hi, catherine - It sounds like your question basically boils down to semantics.  When someone is in congestive heart failure, their level of activity is limited by shortness of breath or fatigue.  Usually this is a result of abnormal heart function (a 'cardiomyopathy'), but once they are adequately treated and feel back to normal again, they are technically no longer IN congestive heart failure.  But they still have a cardiomyopathy because the underlying problem has not changed.  So you COULD say that congestive heart failure is a clinical condition, but the cardiomyopathy is the underlying disease.  You could argue that either way, though...
