A member asked:
How does high c reactive protein affect or is related to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (10.9)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite variable: It depends on a lot of things but the bottom line is that the length of survival varies greatly. Some children or adults live a very long time with severe disease of the heart muscle. Of course, the treatment will affect this but in an individual case it is just hard to predict.
