General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I can understand your worry.
his heart function is 15% mean remaining cardiac tissue unable to tolerate the overload .
definitely 2DEcho ,chest X ray will show the progress of disease ,,
antibiotic and diuretics are the main treatment which reduces the load over the heart as well as lungs &controls the lung disease
being an young age patient will survive ,with monitoring of other blood parameters like RFT ,CUE .CBP

regular follow up with chest x ray and 2 d echo will show u the improvement in disease

better avoid smoking and alcohol if he had

good environment ,good diet tension free situation will help the patient to live long ..

so don't worry he will recover ;

I find this answer helpful
