Low EF #
My mother is 62 years old. She has had numerous hospital stays due to issues with her heart failure. I believe the hospital visits were more harm than good because once she got out, her EF number had dropped from 20% - 25% to 10% - 15%. Her cardiologist reviewed the paperwork from the hospital in which they stated that mom was not a good candidate for a heart transplant. They hospital claims that she was non-compliant with her diet plan and failed to take her medications. Her primary doctor made it clear that mom has always taken her meds correctly but somehow the hospital's data is flawed. The hospital recommended hospice. I'm just asking to see if anyone has been in this situation and reversed the result. If so, what did you do? I'm longing for any action that had results whether natural or medical that no one has thought of in her case. Thanks for any answers you can share.
