Dilated cardiomyopathy (congestive heart failure)

Anyone have this disease and if so how are you being treated to control it? When they decide you need a pacemaker?

My husband has had Congestive Heart Failure for 7 years now-he got pneumonia and has had an ICD for 7 years now.Takes a variety of heart medication and anticoagulant but lives a good life,He had to give up work when diagnosed (was  61 then) but keeps himself busy being a house husband.Currently we shielding together as this is a virus he certainly doesn’t want to get.Have you just recently been diagnosed?

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
