Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I take medication regularly to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Can dilated cardiomyopathy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a common disease diagnosed in clinical cardiac surgery, which can be caused by various different reasons. The condition is quite severe, not only affecting normal examinations and daily life but also severely endangering life. Currently, there are no specific drugs or methods that can completely alleviate it. In the past, the survival period for this disease was approximately 2.5 years. Now, with the advancement of medical technology, timely and appropriate treatment and care have significantly shortened the survival period, but it is still limited to about 10 years at most.
