Cardiologist Dr. Priyank Mody 's  Response
Respected sir you have achieved great progress since last four years till a1c and cholesterol are concerned, I will suggest you stick to the same plan. Ef 22% if recently decreased do rule out ischaemia as cause and also optimise medication which includes beta blocker, Ace inhibitors, aldosterone antagonist , statin, diuretic sos as per your doctor
For further assistance you can mail me all meds and recent reports on Priyankmody86@gmail.com
