I would guess a good 50% of people with DCM would carry on with their normal employment. The worst affected can't work

Depending on what type of work and what type of cardiomyopathy they have. Some people can lead a fairly normal life and manage to work full time. I would probably say 75% could work

Sometimes.
Depends on how severe one persons individual case my be.
Some can tolerate a part-time job.
Some cannot work, because symptoms restrict ability to maintain endurance.
Few hold a full-time position.

People can work with cardiomyopathy at any job. Symptoms can be kept under control with medications and proper care.

Some forms of cardiomyopathy can make it so that you should not get involved in heavy lifting or taking hard hits.
