Can A Healthy Life Be Led With Heart At 25% Working Condition?

I had a heart attack a few months back and had an echogram taken which measures your valves and muscles and other parts of your heart. The results I received was that my heart is funcitoning at 25 percent at this time and my muscles are dead. I had 36 sessions of cardiac rehab also and if I walk a short distance I get shortness of breath also. Can I live a normal life with my heart at 25 percent and am I a high risk of living a short life. Thank you

Hello,

This is a serious heart problem and you need to take more care of yourself by taking regularly your treatment regularly consulting with your cardiologist.

Should not force yourself with physical activity a special diet with low salt, so you need to be the doctor of yourself too, and there is a hard job, so it is not like a normal life, because you have so many new rules now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
