Overview
Methods of primary prevention for cardiomyopathy include; maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, avoiding alcohol and illicit drugs, reducing stress, and treating underlying conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Also, those patients with cardiomyopathy with high risk features for sudden cardiac death are usually referred for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placement for primary prevention.
Primary Prevention
- Quitting smoking
- Losing excess weight
- Avoiding the use of alcohol and illegal drugs
- Getting enough sleep and rest
- Reducing stress
- Treating underlying conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure
- ICD placement for patients at risk for sudden cardiac death
