So what is the next step we can take. That s pretty sad when you want money for a question like that!!

Hello dear. Your history is not accurate. What does heart beating 50% means? Kindly get the exact history and ask the question.

Since your brother has some heart ailments he might have undergone ECG, ECHO etc. And i assume the ejection fraction is 50%. That's what you might be mentioning. Anyways You can suggest your brother to keep his BP, Sugars under control by regular check up, diet control-less salt, less sweet. Even morning walk for half an hour will be of great help. If he has bad habits like smoking or alcohol have to give it up. Take medications regularly without fail as indicated by the doctor

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
