Diagnosed With Congestive Heart Failure. What Can Be Done To Improve Pumping Ability Which Is 27?
my husband has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure on Nov 8, 2013. all the tests did not indicate that there was a blockage. Went to St. Lukes in Milwaukee, and had the cardio cathorization and no blockage. ECHO screening determined the left side of the heart is pumping at 27 and it should be 55. What can help improve the pumping ability on the left side of the heart? YYYY@YYYY

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Aggressive management of the condition / as also the risk factors / and the cause, if it can be found – will lead to improvement.
Life style changes like avoiding tobacco and alcohol, reducing weight, low salt diet- help
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Good luck
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
