What Does My Heart Function Test Report Indicate?

I don t know. I was told my heart is at 15% function Friday. Other than that, I am pretty healthy. I am 73, be 74 July. I just want to improve my heart function. I have been active my whole life. In fact I just went back to work at a auto parts store delivering parts that get heavy at time. Now I may need to quit. Can you give me a little advice?

O don't believe that you have 15% of cardiac function and you have a normal life. May be something is wrong with the exam. If you have 15% it means that you have cronic heart failure, and it can be from many causes, the more usual for your age is heart ischemia. You have to check your coronary arteries, which eans you have to do a coronarography.
