A member asked:
What should be done next in a pt of congestive cardiac failure grade 3/4 with ejection fractions less than 25%? which drugs helps d most?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CHF : The cause of the low ef needs to be worked out. If ecm, then we use a combination of beta blocker, ace inhibitor, and often other drugs like spironolactone. We use diuretics to help with fluid overload if needed. These drugs need to be tilt rated and monitored.
