hi , persistent cough in cases with low ejection fraction & Heart disease is mostly due to LV dysfunction and or medicines like ACE inhibitors .
1 Consult your doctor whether he has started ACE inhibitors , if so , stopping that will help .
2 In absence of this , addition of drugs like diuretics and carvedilol , will help to preserve LV function and help in improving condition over a period of Time .
serial Echo monitoring is advisable .
Thx

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
You need to consult your Doctor again to rule out any water collection in the lungs because of the heart problem. Secondly, if your on certain medications for heart problem it can cause cough. So it is better to consult your cardiologist and discuss with him regarding this problem.
Take care
Regards
