It may take: several months for the full effects of the medications. You should be absolutely compliant and not miss a single dose. Avoid potentially cardiotoxic exposure (alcohol, illicit drugs, nicotine) and follow your doctors recommendations to the letter!

Depends : On the extent injury and co_morbid disease and your overall health. Young healthy on appropriate medications including Corey do do very well and may recover to ejection fractions within 3 to 6 months.

Silly patient: The best answer for your question is provided by the treating physicians, who have the benefit of your history, exam and an understanding of the tests you have had to date.While it is understandable you want answers. we have no crystal ball with great incite based on your present ejection fraction. This is a serious illness,pay attention to your docs advise and you might do well.
