Clinical trials have shown that Azmarda has shown significant improvement in the Ejection fraction of patients, but it will not be correct that it can completely cure cardiomyopathy but results are promising enough to give patients who do not have any contra-indication a trial of the medication, only after giving  the medication can we see for sure whether a patient is responding to the medication or not.
