What Is Cardiomyopathy?
9. When to See a Doctor
A person who has any of the symptoms of cardiomyopathy should make an appointment with their physician for a diagnosis. If chest pains, severe difficulty breathing or fainting arise and last longer than a few minutes, call 911 for help.
Individuals with a family history of the disease need to make sure their primary care doctor is aware of it. Since some of the inherited conditions are likely to be missed because there are no symptoms, ongoing monitoring is imperative.
