The Queen of All Media revealed that she now has cardiomyopathy.</p><p>&quot;Because of Churg Strauss (an autoimmune disease) I now have cardiomyopathy. This means my heart muscles are having trouble pumping blood due to inflammation, and because of that inflammation, it’s exhausting my heart and causing it to begin to fail and ultimately, please pray with me- sana hindi tuluyang sumuko or mag-cardiac arrest,” she said.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3UyFo3rKWc/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=485&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A7184719.599999964%2C%22ls%22%3A6395246.199999988%2C%22le%22%3A6395771.599999964%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Kris also asked for her followers and fans to pray for her medical team.</p><p>&quot;Please help me pray for my doctors and my nurses so that God will continue to guide them as they try to heal me.
