How to take care of myself and manage my symptoms of alcoholic cardiomyopathy?

The most important thing you can do to help yourself if you have alcoholic cardiomyopathy is to quit alcohol if at all possible. If you can't quit, the next best thing is to reduce your drinking to moderate or light levels, and the less alcohol you drink, the better. Moderate drinking means no more than 14 drinks a week for men or 7 drinks a week for women.

You should also follow your doctor’s guidance and advice on any treatments you receive. This includes taking your medication as instructed and eating a healthy diet. If you have any questions about how to do either of these, your healthcare provider can answer them and offer you help and resources along the way.
