Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
ACE Inhibitors
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors help reduce cardiac workload by decreasing blood pressure and preventing harmful remodeling of the heart muscle.
Disease management and monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Beta-Blockers
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents slow heart rate and reduce blood pressure, allowing the heart to beat more efficiently and with less strain.
Additional treatment options
Sodium Restriction
Reducing dietary sodium intake helps minimize fluid retention and reduces the workload on the compromised heart.
lifestyleEchocardiogram Surveillance
Regular cardiac imaging to monitor ejection fraction, chamber dimensions, and disease progression or improvement.
monitoringCardiac Rehabilitation Program
Supervised exercise training combined with education on heart-healthy living to improve cardiovascular fitness and quality of life.
