What Is Cardiomyopathy?
10. Prognosis
Once an individual has cardiomyopathy, it cannot be cured or reversed. The aim, therefore, is to slow the progress and reduce further damage. The prognosis depends on the severity of the disease once it is diagnosed, the cause and the extent to which it can be treated.
Cardiomyopathy can significantly shorten life expectancy. Early detection is vital so treatment can begin immediately. Proper measures, which include a heart-healthy lifestyle, are critical to prolonging life.
