I am a 46 year old male who was diagnosed in july of last year with IDCM. I had been an active and healty peson up to that point. My EF was 28 % in July of last year and 30 % in October of that same year. I have been on many meds for the last year and done well. I saw my Doc in August of this year and my EF was 55% on a TEE. He was vauge about how this might happen and what it all might mean. i feel that I am healing. I had a chronic viral URI ofr six months piror to all of this happening which i feel was the causitive factor. Anyone with information related to what percentage of people recover from this i would sure like to know and have not found it in my own research on the net. I know that i am GRATEFUL and that i concider this to be a real miracle. Thanks for your help. I am also a nurse by trade.
