Cardiomyopathy Treatment

Cardiomyopathy is any disease of the heart muscle that affects how well the heart can pump blood. With early diagnosis and Dr. Benny Jose's tailored, modern treatment, the great majority of patients manage the condition well and continue to lead full, active lives.

Types and symptoms

• Dilated cardiomyopathy — the heart enlarges and pumps less effectively
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — the muscle thickens abnormally
• Restrictive cardiomyopathy — the muscle stiffens
• Common symptoms: breathlessness, fatigue, palpitations, swelling and dizziness

Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is essential and painless. Dr. Benny uses ECG, echocardiography and, where needed, advanced imaging and angiography to identify the exact type and cause of cardiomyopathy — the foundation of effective, targeted treatment.

Treatment and ongoing care

Treatment is personalised and may include medication to support the heart's pumping, management of rhythm problems, device therapy such as pacemakers or defibrillators, and lifestyle guidance. With regular follow-up and expert care, most patients remain stable, active and well for many years.
