Idiopathic cardiomyopathy and blood clot

Idiopathic cardiomyopathy and blood clot

Posted By Richard Bubil on May 03, 1999 at 00:14:55
I was just this week diagnosed with idiopathic cardiomyopathy.  My EF is 45%, but I am extremely fatigued and am short of breath.  I just started taking Accupril and Coreg and have been reading this forum to learn more about those medications.  However, I have not read any questions concerning my condition.  My cardiologist said that I have a blood clot in my heart that is the result of blood pooling because it was not being pumped out.  Before I left the hospital, he stablized me on Coumadin and I continue to take that to hopefully stop the clot from increasing in size and breaking off.  Is such a clot a normal complication of cardiomyopathy and is there any way to dissolve the clot or otherwise take care of it other than the Coumadin therapy?
