A member asked:
How can i increase my ejection fraction rate and i have an aicd with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confused: Restrictive cardiomyopathy is not associated with a low ef. Perhaps you meant "idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy"? Ef can be improved by using a combination of beta blockers (especially coreg), vasodilators (especially ace-inhibitors) and using a resynchronization icd if appropriate in your case. Avoiding alcohol is also mandatory.
