EF: There is mild concern over the progressive decrease in your EF but a cardiologist would be best to evaluate and explain your symptoms which are of concern. I feel your EF of 58 is borderline normal. There may be an element of diastolic dysfunction from hypertension and this type of dysfunction often has a normal EF.

Mgt: The symptoms that you are experiencing are concerning. I would suggest an evaluation for CHF and pulmonary hypertension.
