Does dilated cardiomyopathy affect the next generation?

Patient's question:

My friend has dilated cardiomyopathy, but she is pregnant. She is very worried that the dilated cardiomyopathy will affect the next generation. Will the dilated cardiomyopathy be inherited to her child across generations? What impact will this disease have on the child? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If the disease occurs multiple times due to reasons beyond tomorrow, it will never be inherited by the next generation. However, during pregnancy, it is essential to pay close attention and take good care of your diet to ensure a stable mood, primarily to prevent the recurrence of cardiomyopathy. If you frequently eat overly salty foods, overeat, or often get angry, it can easily lead to the recurrence of the disease, which will also affect the growth of the fetus.
