Congestive Heart Failure

Treatment

Treatment depends on the specific type and cause of cardiomyopathy (see table Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiomyopathies ). [msdmanuals.com]
Some people will not need any treatment. Treatment of secondary cardiomyopathy may involve treating the underlying condition. [mydr.com.au]
Treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy is directed at the underlying disease. [aafp.org]
[ edit ] Treatment may include suggestion of lifestyle changes to better manage the condition. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
All three subgroups (Löffler's endocarditis, primary restrictive cardiomyopathy, and endomyocardial fibrosis) have a guarded prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, the prognosis appears to be worse in children than in adults. Genetic cases show autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Is It Possible to Prevent Cardiomyopathy? Cardiomyopathy is a term that describes the end result of many diseases and illnesses. [emedicinehealth.com]
Prevention In many cases, cardiomyopathy cannot be prevented. However, there are some types of cardiomyopathy that can be avoided, such as those that are caused by excessive alcohol or drug use. [mydr.com.au]
Prevention In many cases, you can't prevent cardiomyopathy. Let your doctor know if you have a family history of the condition. [mayoclinic.org]
Management Treatment options are symptomatic and mainly directed towards treatment of heart failure and prevention of thromboembolism and sudden death. [patient.info]
