Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 47 years old, male, and during this period, I always feel that my body has problems when working. After working for a while, I can't stand it anymore, and the hospital's thorough examination said it was chronic congestive heart failure with dilated cardiomyopathy. I want to ask the doctor what should be done about chronic congestive heart failure with dilated cardiomyopathy?Doctor's answer:
Through careful examination, it was confirmed to be chronic congestive heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy. It can only be treated symptomatically to alleviate the symptoms of heart failure. It is essential to implement anti-infection measures during the acute phase. At the same time, attention must be paid to reducing the workload on the heart, both front and back. It is crucial to maintain a low-sodium diet and avoid overeating. Additionally, blood pressure must be reduced, and hypertension must be controlled. In cases of edema, diuretic medication should be used.
