I am also in the same boat of yours.Following Coronary artery disease Myocardial infarction last October, my Ejection Fraction is recorded as 26%.I had thrombolytic treatment in the ICU with medications including Dopamine.I am not advised any invasive procedures.I am male ,58 years of age.I feel tired and run down at times, but I would never give. Regular exercises(walking) ,change in food habits are bringing in relief. I would not contemplate DEATH as a solution as no one can predict our remaining days on the earth. Be cheerful.There are more sadder hearts than yours and mine. Feel that you are not alone.Good luck.
