Hello,
With the question “How to treat heart failure? , the doctor replied as follows:
As you said when echocardiography EF 45% , it is true that it is lower than normal, but there are many causes and treatment depends on the cause. Therefore, you should go to a medical facility to be examined and consulted directly. When you go to the doctor, you need to provide some more information such as: how are the heart valves? How is the heart muscle (are there reduced range of motion?) do you have difficulty breathing, do you have chest pain? How is the electrocardiogram?,... From there, the doctor will plan the appropriate treatment.
If you still have questions about the treatment of heart failure, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
