How Can I Increase My Result?

my first 'echo' gave me a result of 60,, which my doctor told me was good. However 3 weeks later it is 50-55. My doctor said this is still normal. (i have undergone chemo/radiotherapy for cancer) I have another echo in 7 weeks time. How can i increase my result please?

hello, I have gone through your query .Thanks for using HCM.Basically normal EF is above 55%.so figure of 55 or 60 is considered normal.In your case our goal is to look for side effect of chemo on EF.I think next assessment after few weeks will give you right information.if it is around 55 ,nothing to worry.
My best wishes
