As you are 16 years old and have got post viral cardiomyopathy , I regard it a treatable disease although cure rate is not 100%. I have seen miracles in my 20 yrs cardiology practice even at a time when treatment choice was not abundant . Even today despite not having LVAD available in our country, we have a good prognosis only with medications like
ACEI/ARB, carvedilol, spironolactone ect.
                                        Be optimistic one day you will get rid of this calamity.
