I don't know enough about your husband to answer the questions you pose, but I can provide some general information. Cardiomyopathy is usually an irreversible process and is caused by either blockages in the coronary arteries leading to heart attacks or systemic conditions that decrease the pumping function of the heart with normal coronary arteries. Medications used to treat cardiomyopathy improve the symptoms of congestive heart failure, but rarely reverse the underlying process that caused cardiomyopathy. For more specific information, I suggest that you speak with his cardiologist. I hope you find this information useful.
