Cardiomyopathy, Treatments and Therapies

In any case, the choice of therapy varies from individual to individual. The choice must be made by an experienced cardiologist, based on the symptoms and evaluation of numerous elements, including age, symptoms, ECG, ventricular function and especially the specific underlying disease that caused the cardiomyopathy.
