CarynWebb, what a wealth of information here and by wealth I mean EXTREME amount. Heart disease due to actions like sports, exercise or extremely physical activity, genetics play a large part not to discount environment? I read and learn so much from all the personal stories here. Change Doctors to another specialist who has a different plan of care? Change POC and condition improves? POC is limited by every Doctors training, experience and not to mention the patient's finances and where the most money can be generated? Take one pill for this, another pill for that and these other dozen pills to cover the side affects of the first dozen? Doctors want you coming back! They don't want you dead, just alive enough to keep their revenue flowing? 😎

Janine, I am sorry they did not specifically address idiopathic Cardiomyopathy which I understand is also known as DCM or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. As you pointed out idiopathic simply means of unknown causes. It is a disease of the heart which causes the heart chambers to enlarge or dilate. They did address DCM and most of the videos I found were the same. I will keep looking and see if I can find anything for you. Thanks!
