Question 1

My dad is 54 and started having heart issues about 7 years ago. He's been on medication, but since last year, his ejection fraction dropped first to 38 and now it's at 42. What can we do to help improve his ejection fraction? I'm really worried.

Accepted Answer

It's important to closely monitor and manage your father's heart condition. To help increase his ejection fraction (EF), the following medications can be considered: - ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily - Beta-blockers like Carvedilol 6.25mg twice daily - Aldosterone antagonists like Spironolactone 25mg once daily In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and stress management can also help improve EF. Regular follow-ups with his cardiologist are essential to adjust his treatment plan as needed.
