A member asked:
Dad ex-smoker developed a heart attack and had a stent inserted, he has diabetes and his condition worsened to chf with ejaculation fraction20%, cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: A cough is nonspecific but given the low ejection fraction his cough could be a sign of acute heart failure, especially if accompanied with difficulty breathing with exertion or lying down or swelling of the legs. He should probably be evaluated.
