Husband, age 53, diagnosed with cardiomypathy six months ago. We were not told of this condition until last week. Learned that he has only 25% of heart usage remaining. Question: if we were told of his condition at that time (six months ago) would his heart of gotten so bad to date? In other words, would the medication he is taking now been given to him six months ago have saved his heart to some degree.
Please, please answer. Obviously we are frightened to learn that he has lost 75% of his heart usage . What can we expect from medications? Strengthen? God, We Hope!.
Thank you.
