You can’t reverse or cure cardiomyopathy, but you can control it with some of the following options:
heart-healthy lifestyle changes
medications, including those used to treat high blood pressure, prevent water retention, keep the heart beating with a normal rhythm, prevent blood clots, and reduce inflammation
surgically implanted devices, like pacemakers and defibrillators
surgery
heart transplant, which is considered a last resort
