The heart can repair itself. it is slow. and can be done, I have found many natural remedies to help the symptoms. I have been working hard for three years at optimizing my health. Limit salt #1, limit alcohol, tobacco!! limit caffeine, Chocolate has much caffeine, has to go.. Eat fresh foods ,,no caned processed foods at all,, the additives for shelf life color etc. hurt the body, Store bought bread is bad .. full of salt. I only eat home made wheat bread. Now for speed I make whole wheat dutch baby's. 1 cup wheat flour 1 egg 1 cup milk .. I fry it in grape-seed oil on medium heat.. mix in rice bran protein, or add home made salsa to the batter ,, or anything else it can take garlic or any spices. or pancake style. I oil my skin, entire body, with grape seed oil every other day. its magical I'm loosing years worth of wrinkles and it helps your body save the good fats for your heart and tissues. you wont crave fattening foods anymore when you start oiling your skin,, amazing!!! Feet also. Eat lots of good fats so you dont crave bad fats... you need fat,,, eat the good stuff!!! I go anti cancer also with my heart smart diet,, by adding celery, limes the #1 cancer fighter limes also grapefruit. pomegranate, fresh fruits. wild berries. I'll mension Rice bran protein one more time it will pull your old heart back together again go get some,, body builder protein powders are ok too. but watch the additives, salt, and caffien they add for the energy boost , read the labels.. Oral health, very important for heart health. Floss daily with tea tree oil. get a reach full sized handle flosser they work great. two drops of tea tree oil in your mouth for lowers then two more drops for upper. then use a sonic care electric tooth brush twice a day. using toms of main Cinnamon toothpaste every other time mixed with tea tree oil brushing three drops every other time,, And drink four drops of tea tree oil every day .. I just swallow it,, or make the tea like they recommend... tea tree oil is an amazing anti biotic. the germs in your teeth go straight to your heart... kill them!!! Mental health, huge component. Its all we really have. every day I make myself appreciate what I do have, and I think more and more positive every day. I'm amazed that I can be totally happy with constant chest pain , I isolate my pain as a technical issue, and leave a certain part of my brain for dealing with the pain and focusing on not over doing, but the rest of my brain I focus on pleasurable things thoughts, when I feel sorry for myself I say "oops not going to do that". and I stop thinking the negative thoughts,, they dont help,, so I dont think them!!! tell yourself every day that you are going to get and feel better soon, tell yourself all the good things that come from a slower life style, be creative and think of things you can do.. Write a book?. lay in bed and draw art? design a house? What ever.. there are no limits..!!! substance abuse , hard for many people to give up.. I quit drinking took years to finally give it up. I did not drink daily just occasional binge drinking on weekends, but it was nice to give it up all together, now in a social setting I just accept a beer when offered, and sip it, then discard it when no ones looking. to not make a big deal about not drinking,, Quit smoking took me many years. I Quit anxiety pills that made me have worse panic attacks than my first anxiety caused! (kolonapin), bad stuff, never take it... Quit Coffee, no problem for me, never drank it, it gave me palpitations. many people are addicted too caffeine it must be reduced slowly and discontinued for heart health,, Quit Chocolate. No pain pills throw them away... The doctors are limited to a hand full of medicine classes. I think they have a hard time dealing with sick people all the time and want to just say your ok sometimes, its ok, We have ten times more control with our diet and health program.. very few people give me advice on natural remedies on the various heart forums I dont know why But I want other peoples advice on heart smart diet and so on. every day I find more and better heart smart diet ideas. (fresh raw or cooked fish, deep pacific ocean fish, I'm from Seattle so I dont know about Atlantic fish ..stay away from bottom fish, I only eat cod if its from alaska) I experimented with raw red meats had good results mostly, and one stomach ache. I quit doing it now,, it does make you feel strong. oiling the skin- tried vitamin E oil, olive oil, canola oil, like grape seed oil the best. it feels good to get a self massage also relaxing,, dry skin goes away. I put it on my scalp and hair also.. I went swimming tonight and the water and chlorine bead off me !!! Oh yeah swimming is great for the heart just being in the water makes blood preassure go down I just do kick board now, slow and easy.. my heart cant take much more. Breathing exercises can keep your lungs in shape even if you are bed riden. and it helps chest pain go away.. your lungs are partners in crime with your heart ,, deep breaths to keep the lower lungs healthy.. After heart surgery they give you a breathing gaget that makes you blow hard and fast... thats fine, but its more important to do the slow deep breaths, opening up your lungs and keeping your breathing muscles in shape.. After surgery they will have you hold a pillow over your chest to turn in bed or move,, also you should inhale and hold to support the sternum when turning in bed .. it stops the compresion of the sternum , you just should not sleep on your side after surgery for a few weeks just up the angle of the bed for different positions.

You would have to give a better description than that. I mean hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can turn large portions of the heart into expanding layers that can cause massive health problems. The only treatment is to kill some of the hearth tissue to keep it in the correct shape. And there are a whole host of other less common, while keeping in mind the above disease is not common, diseases that could be described in that fashion.

Irreversible disease does sound like a possible cardiomyopathy. View the link for info on that one, but make sure you have the correct diagnosis
