Hello dear and thanks for posting your query here.
As your mother has got LBBB with severe heart dysfunction, she needs a coronary angiography to rule out the blockages the heart vessels as the presence of these blockages is one of the causes of reduced heart function.
Then she needs to be optimally treated with certain medicines like Lisinopril which she is already on, diuretics, beta blockers, and if required blood thinners and medicines for cholesterol.
Then if your mother remains breathless even despite medicines, then she might need a special kind of pacemaker, CRT.
I hope this information would help you.
Thanks and all the best.
