valve done in 2019 - recent check up shows heart wall has hypoakeniss and akenesis - with reduced ejection fraction - has anyone dealt with this? -they are changing my medications - say I can live with this if it doesn't get much worse???
Sorry to hear this, I have never heard of this before. I hope it can be managed well for you 🙏

Has anyone found a medication that helps improve ejection fraction but doesn't make you feel exhausted or short of breath? I am down to 35% EF
Entresto seemed to help my wife. her EF is 55% now and she has shortness of breath for other reasons but she doesn't feel exhausted.
