Welcome to Health Care Magic . Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

Let me solve your doubts one by one.

By ECG , I guess you are talking of ECHOCARDIOGRAM . It says systolic dysfunction. It would have been better if you mentioned the EJECTION FRACTION (EF) . It stays normally above 50-55%.

Your electrocardiogram is normal- That is good news.

You have not mentioned about the Blood Pressure .

I would suggest you to continue with whatever your doctor has prescribed to you both for the cholesterol and "systolic dysfunction".

Go for regular Blood pressure checkups.

If you have symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, swelling of feet immediately visit the Emergency.

Hope this helps.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
