Treatment of<unk>  should focus on management of causative conditions (for example, using corticosteroids if the cause is sarcoidosis), and slowing the progression of<unk> . Salt-restriction, diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and anticoagulation may be indicated for managing<unk> . Calcium channel blockers are generally contraindicated due to their negative inotropic effect, particularly in<unk>  caused by amyloidosis. Digoxin, calcium channel blocking drugs and beta-adrenergic blocking agents provide little benefit, except in the subgroup of<unk>  with atrial fibrillation. Vasodilators are also typically ineffective because systolic function is usually preserved in cases of<unk> . Heart failure resulting from<unk>  will usually eventually have to be treated by cardiac transplantation or left ventricular assist device.
