Suggest Treatment For Low LVEF
I have been suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy since diagnosed last two years and hypertension for last three and half years. Though hypertension is controlled by medication but DCM is not at all improving. When DCM was diagnosed,LVEF was 40%, after one and half year it improves a little 43% which once again reduced to 35~40% in last Echo. I am taking Cardivas 25 ( Twice ),Valzaar 160 ( Twice), Dytor 10( Once ),Planep 25 ( Once ) AND CARNITOR 500 ( Twice ). My angiography shows normal coronaries and blood report including sodium and K+ are within limit. Please advise.

Hi,
There is hardly any means at this stage which can improve EF. You are currently on proper medicine and you need to take those regularly in order to slow down the decrement. CRT device is available which can improve EF but it is given only very low EF patients like less than 35%.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sagar Makode
