I have cardiomyopathy caused by a virus that got into my heart and cause scarring that really messed up my electrical system.

I am not familiar with HCM but I think that is where your heart muscle inside gets thickened and cuts down on amount of blood that can be pumped. What is your EF?

There are many many medications from my personal experience since I was diagnosed with HF all the way back to 2001. Ask your cardilogist about medications to help control PVCs and palapatations. There are a lot of medications out there that can improve EF also.

I see the MCC mentor has already reached out to you with valuable information. I echo that this is your heart and you want to get the best diagnosis and treatments. So make sure like Mentor stated ensure your cardiologist is experience in your heart condition. If you are anywhere close to a major medical facility like Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins, would suggest getting second opinion.

I suggest that as back when I was diagnosed with HF, cardiomyopathy, and decreasing EF, I decided to get second opinion and when to Mayo Jacksonville. There after I decided to change to their care the changed my medicaions, and also had a ICD/Pacemaker implanted.

My EF stopped getting and worse and has been the same for almost 20 years. Other that weight problems my heart failure does not stop me from doing my exercise routines and any daily life. I contribute this to Mayo and the health care team I now have treating me.
