Prevention & Expectations
What can be done to prevent the disease?
In most cases, nothing can be done to prevent restrictive cardiomyopathy. Prevention is related to the cause. Early treatment of sarcoidosis and hemochromatosis may help prevent some cases.
What are the long-term effects of the disease?

What are the risks to others?
There are no risks to others.
