Question 1

ejection fraction below 20% and medical  renal disease grade 3 what is d life expectancy?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Life expectancy in general or in relation to a disease should be taken as a general reference. So, a patient with the described clinical profile naturally lives less years to come. How long? No one can put a finger at it. Nonetheless, living longer if possible is still the common wish for all, except occasional private hidden agenda. How? Lifestyles + timely medical care give best possible hope.

Question 2

been athelte for the most of my life. lvd size is 63mm. should i get worried?
average hr is 40. bp - normal. ejection fraction - 60. almost for the whole of my 30 years doing activities, it was aerobic cardio trainings. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Consult Cardiologist:  Per NCBI, "Intense exercise may cause heart remodeling to compensate for increases in blood pressure or volume by increasing muscle mass. Cardiac changes can involve not only the left ventricle, but all heart chambers." Your best option is to consult a cardiologist. They can explain in detail the results of the echocardiogram and if there are any concerning changes.

Question 3

my stepson has dmd and his ejection fraction is 18.  how critical is this to his life span and how can i help him?

Accepted Answer

Medication may help: Unfortunately there is no cure for the cardiomyopathy associated with dmd. Medications used for other heart diseases, particularly a group known as ace inhibitors can help preserve the heart function. I have cared for a number of patients with ejection fractions below 20% who lived for years without rapid progression.

Question 4

my wife has a 30-35 ejection fraction with a pacemaker and dedefibrillator. what are her chances to live a long life. she is 60 years old.?

Question 5

33 year old man. no symptoms.healthy echo done as a precaution post covid. diastolic function is abnormal, pseudonormal filling patterns (grade ii). 60-65% ejection fraction. what does this mean? is it reversible? can you live a long life with this?

Accepted Answer

: Your Cardiologist may provide additional follow up. Recommend a biomarker evaluation, and  a review of exercise recommendations. Eat a healthy diet, exercise as advised by your physician. Post VIVID inflammation of the cardiac tissue may occur and longer term studies are needed. Avoid smoke, trans fats and incorporate heart healthy oils in your diet.  COVID-19 vaccine and Flu vaccine are recommend

Question 6

diastolic function is abnormal, pseudonormal filling patterns (grade ii). 60-65% ejection fraction. what does this mean? is it reversible? can you live a long life with this? 33 year old man. no symptoms.healthy echo done as a precaution post covid?

Accepted Answer

: Grade 2 diastolic dysfunction denotes a moderate degree of stiffness of the left ventricle. This could have been residua of some heart muscle inflammation incurred during the covid infection. It's best to have a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist for accurate diagnosis, advice &amp; follow-up.

Question 7

how can we increase ejection fraction from 20 %?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac optimization: by taking beta blockers to have an optimum heart rate of close to 60 BPM, taking Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor to protect from remodeling, taking aspirin to protect from further risk of MI, taking Statin to decrease inflammatory and control lipids, undergo cardiac rehabilitation; sometime biventricular cardiac stimulator can help, also EP consultant may consider ablation if many PVCs.

Question 8

my  ejection fraction increased  25-30  to55-60   with meds do i still have cardiomyapathy?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Your cardiomyopathy resolved with medical therapy. Continue with your medications. Depending on the initial cause of the cardiomyopathy you may be able to lower or even discontinue some medications only after discussion with your doctor.

Question 9

why is my ejection fraction 48%? i'm 25 and the echo shows no other problems but that. it was 50-55% last time i had it checked.

Accepted Answer

See cardiology: More data would be needed. Strongly encourage you to see and work with your cardiologists to better understand why a young man such as yourself would have a decrease in their ejection fraction.

Question 10

yes my ejection fraction was between 15 to 20 percent. was not expecting that. nurse said was 47 percent. but i got results. said visably. whatever that means. howlong can one live with fraction that low?

Accepted Answer

: Do you have an established diagnosis of cardiomyopathy &amp; if so, what type? If it's from past heart attacks an intracardiac defibrillator along with use of ACE inhibitors, diuretics,certain new cardiac meds,&amp;left ventricular assist devices have been able to postpone cardiac transplantation for years. Your cardiologist is by far the best person to answer your question.
