Depends: The life expectancy of a person with cardiomyopathy(cm) depends on several variables.What is the cause of the cm?What is the amount of damage to the heart muscle?-usually reflected in a measurement of the heart's pumping ability known as an ejection fraction (the normal minimum is ~50-55%).A person's functional status is also important-are they very symptomatic on maximum therapy or barely on none.
