Hi Ray, I have asked my Cardioligist that same question myself, and his answer to me was, unfortunately, at present, Cardiomaythy is for life. Medications can slow down the progression of the disorder but it tends to worsen after time. Now, I am not saying that you are going to die tomorrow or anything like that, but that was the answer that he gave me. After being diagnosed with IDLC & CHF myself, 3 years and 2 months later, I personnaly have had good improvement in my condition. Take care of yourself and take your medications like you are supposed to, is the best advise that I can offer you.
