What Is The Treatment For Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Coronary Artery Disease And An Ejection Fraction Of Only 25 To 30?

I am a 64 year old female with many health issues including ischemic cardio myopathy, coronary artery disease and an ejection fraction of only 25 to 30. I have recently had many tests to determine if I have tumors on my adrenal glands. The ct scan revealed no tumors yet my numbers indicated for the adrenal gland function is 3 times what they should be. I have just started itching and stinging all over my body. I have changed nothing in my life or eaten anything unusual. Thuis has continued for about 1 week. It is lessened in intensity with Benedryl. What might this be?

Thanks for asking HCM
i think by now you know what is ischemic cardiac myopathy...its hardeneing of arteries..due to plagues...which accumulated due to excess consumption of fat.
If we got to treat you...
1. you should change your life style avoid alcohol strictly no even a 10 ml of wine incase if you take .
2.drink healthy food cooked in less oil/boiled or steamed food.
3 avoid caffeine less fat food

And coming through treatment process seeing you ejection fraction and age consideration we cant perform surgery.after 3 to 4 weeks of observation in your health you may needed a pace maker to control your heart rate.
and also myopathy leads to hearts failure to control you need
metaprolol drug. digoxin etc.as these are prescribed drug i suggest you to go and meet a cardiologist for these medicines

and coming to your adrenal gland hyper function which you clearly didn't mention which levels r elevated like cortisol or aldosterone
the elevated levels are the cause leading to itching you may need steroid treatment for management under supervision
I find this answer helpful
