In general DCM is not curable and you should not stop taking your medication without consulting your specialist. However, the function of the heart can return to normal or near normal in some cases of DCM caused by inflammation in the heart or when it occurs following pregnancy (peripartum cardiomyopathy). In such cases, some medications can be reduced or discontinued.
