If the left ventricle is abnormally large, that condition can/will reduce contractility.  If you had an echo, and the heart muscle is damaged (unlikely for dilated LV) there is less probability to increase the EF.  However, exercise can be beneficial, proper diet, lifestyle moderation, etc. can be helpful
