Heart Pumping

My wife's heart pumping is about 20 to 25 %. She is 65 years old and she has under gone six cycles of Chemotherapy after the breast operation.


How to improve her heart pumping and what is the risk if pumping is so low.

Hi Nitush,
I think you should have her see a cardiologist. Does she get dizzy or pass out? Are there irregular rhtyhms? 20-25% (I'm assuming that's her ejection fraction) is pretty low but you can keep ticking along with that from what I've read.
Definitely see a doctor regarding this question.
