I have successfully improved from diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in 2006. EF went from about 15 then to 55 now. Had an ICD installed in 2007; never shocked. 2nd resynchronizing ICD in 2014 which really helped. However, a recent echocardiogram showed worsening mitral regurgitation. Also, the angiogram showed (again) significant blockage in the main descending cardiac artery. So now, both problems will be repaired in upcoming surgery.
