Yes: Ejection fraction of %40 is less than normal and it means that your heart pumping function has been affected but yes you can have a normal lifestyle ... Managing blood pressure , appropriate excercide and diet can all help with achieving an optimal life style ...

Normal life: yes!: 40% is a mildly impaired heart. It often improves over time as the areas of your heart on the margins of the heart attack zone recover. Medication helps avoid unwanted remodeling, keeps your stent patent, and lowers your risk of new heart attack. Join cardiac rehab, stop smoking completely, take your meds, adjust your diet, and you can live full and normal life!
