What Is The Prognosis For Dilated Cardiomyopathy?
I am curious about the prognosis, i.e. expected symptoms for someone diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy due to alcoholism, also mitral valve regurgitation, ejection fraction of about 30%, atrial fibrilation; he abstained briefly, for about 7 months, less 2 one-week lapses, and has since resumed alcohol consumption.
