Cardiomyopathy is nothing but the condition compromising of our hearts to efficiently pump the blood.

It is not a death sentence.

With rigid life style modifications like salt/ fluid restriction & regular exercise as advised by your cardiologist & the right medications this can be overcome within a short period and our quality of life will be excellent with added longevity.

It is classified as an underlying condition but the prognosis of the disease differ from person to person.

However, scrupulously following the advice of our cardiologist will certainly result in becoming asymptomatic at the earliest.

All the best

Hi vivi2711 I have been diagnosed with borderline cardiomyopathy yesterday and I’m feeling so scared !! This advice you gave someone else has really given me reassurance!

It's true and is out of my experience I wrote. It took six months for me get stabilised but it might not take that much long for you since every body is unique. I too was scared as to whether that the entire remaining portion of life will be a suffering but it isn't so.

I am certain you'll be OK shortly with ALMIGHTY'S GRACE.

ALL THE BEST
