Suggest Treatment For Borderline Ischemia
Boy, that was quick. I have been diagnosed showing an extensive anterior infart with borderline ischemia and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 34%, consistaant with congestive heart failure. I had a triple bypass which I think my ejection fraction of 34%. Now, I think it is 51%. I would appreciate in knowing what this means as a layman, or should I say laylady?

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I am glad to note that your heart is in a better shape after the surgery and its pumping action has improved significantly. The ischemic areas also would have improved with the bypass surgery as the blood supply to the heart has improved.
