RE: Heart Failure ?

While in coronary care I was told I had an ejection fraction of 30%.

Dear Marion

An EF of 30% is consistent with a diagnosis of heart failure. That does not necessarily mean that you will have symptoms due to this, but you ought to be on medications to try to keep it from getting worse.

I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
