There are several surgical options for patients with<unk>  cardiomyopathy, depending on the severity of heart failure. Implantable cardiac defibrillators have been studied in these patient, and may help in preventing arrhythmias. Cardiac transplantation may be an option for patients with severe heart failure, and a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, may help to bridge a patient while awaiting transplantation. This device may also be used as a palliative measure, called a "destination LVAD" for patients with end-stage heart failure who are not suitable transplant candidates.
