Much like one of our alcohol rehab programmes, there isn’t a set treatment for alcoholic cardiomyopathy as much of what can be done depends on the individual and the state of their health. While everyone will be told to stop drinking to avoid weakening the heart any further, you may have to change your diet to help with your condition, or be given beta blockers or ACE inhibitors if you have high blood pressure.
The aim is to manage the condition and anything that would contribute to it, and control any of your symptoms so you can live a normal life.
Although no-one can guarantee it, it is possible that following your treatment plan could prevent progression of the disease or even reverse it.
