Hi Tara,
I would suggest that you do some research on complementary therapies, nutritional in particular. Coenzyme Q10 has been researched extensively by Dr. Peter Langsjoen at the East Texas Medical Center and several other physicians. Just make sure you use a pharmaceutical grade product. Also, you don't specify what type of cardiomyopathy you have but it does matter. If you have an idiopathic dilated form check my post on July 30, 2003. I also had cardiomyopathy associated with toxemia with the birth of my last (and I do mean last!) child. I think my post about that was somewhere around page 15 - it would have been in 2001.
Good luck to you and please let me know if I can help you in any way.
