Keeping up with any needed follow-up care is important to prevent complications from cardiomyopathy.
- Make sure you attend any scheduled visits with your cardiology team.
- Take any medicines exactly as directed.
- Tell your providers about any new symptoms you experience.
Depending on the type of cardiomyopathy you have and your treatment, your care team may suggest cardiac rehabilitation to help you recover and protect your heart.
You’ll want to keep up the healthy lifestyle habits advised as part of your treatment plan. This can help keep your symptoms under control and limit your risk of complications. Keeping your heart healthy can also help slow the progress of cardiomyopathy.
If you have any side effects from medicines or any new or worsening symptoms, tell your primary care provider and heart doctor. They can let you know whether changes to your treatment plan are needed.
