Hi,
As a matter of fact, it is not possible to increase EF from 28 to 55. Some drugs cause some increase as digoxin. Please consult your heart doctor as he will guide you whether you are fit to take digoxin or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
