Whether a cause can be identified or not, treatment is focused on relieving the symptoms, as well as on relieving the extra load on the heart. Lifestyle changes, medicines, and/or surgery may be needed. A person with cardiomyopathy may suffer an embolus before any other symptom of cardiomyopathy appears. That’s why anti-clotting (anticoagulant) drug therapy may be needed. Arrhythmias may require antiarrhythmic drugs.
