What Is Cardiomyopathy?
7. Treatment Options: Medical
Medical treatment for cardiomyopathy aims to control the symptoms and slow down the disease’s progression. In many instances, it is necessary to treat an underlying condition, which then reduces the stress on the heart.
Medications may be prescribed to help the heart function better. Blood pressure medicine, diuretics or blood thinners are all possibilities. For some, a pacemaker or defibrillator is recommended. A heart transplant is a last-resort option.
