Patient's question:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cannot be treated with medications that reduce cardiac load and vasodilators, but the essential medications are beta-blockers and CCBs. Are beta-blockers and CCBs not negative for the heart, negative for the heart rhythm, and negative for conduction? Hello, what medications are not suitable for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?Doctor's answer:
Dilated cardiomyopathy develops slowly and has a relatively good prognosis. However, due to arrhythmias, it can lead to sudden death. In daily life, attention should be paid to preventing overexertion and excessive mental strain. Beta-blockers, such as propranolol, can reduce myocardial contractility, decrease left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, stabilize left ventricular wall compliance, and improve left ventricular filling. They also have antiarrhythmic effects. Patients should cultivate good living habits.
