viral cardiomyopathy and recovery

Posted By karen hobson on January 15, 1998 at 13:06:12:









I am a 29 yr old female and I have been diagnosed with idiopathic vs peripartum vs vial CM in Nov of 97.  I went to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion with their Cardiac Care Team.  After two days of testing, the team agreed that I have what looks like a virus in my heart and that I am improving.  My EF was 40-45% Dec. 17 and was 59.5% at my appointment Dec. 30.  The doctor feels that i will recover(this was very shocking news). I am currently on 25mg of Coreg and 10mg of Zestril.  
Can you please help me learn more about Viral Cardiomyopathy and let me know if you know of others who have recovered?  What else should I do to help the recovery?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Karen Hobson
