hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
I need to know exact details of ECG,Echo and other investigations to guide you properly.she may have weak heart due to long standing AFib causing swollen abdomen and quick weight loss may be due to diuretics given to her.
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
