My ef is 20 to 25%. I am on Bisoprolol Entresto and Farxiga for 3 months with no change in EF.
I am 53 yo male 5 10. 175lbs. Very good Bp, no diabetes or hi cholesterol.
I am not sure if I should get the implant. Any advice or experiences either way are greatly appreciated
I had the Medtronic device inserted in June,2018. . I’ve only had two incidents and alerted each time. My IF was 25 and now up to 50%. One thing of note: if you have an MRI you must let them know. They will slow the device down and back up after the exam. Best luck. x
Oh yes ..I didnt have that..just a virus that settled I'm my heart
.left side was only function at 20%.
Lord willing it will increase more...than the 40 per cent...I. thankful..

.I've been on Entresto and correg about 10 months to a yr....it took awhile but my EF increased by 20 per cent..I'm now at 40 to 45..I was as low as you.
I did not have an irregular heart beat perhaps that's the difference . I wish you luck and I'll be praying for you..

I had to have an ICD after a heart artery incident that plunged my EF to 15-20%, and 20-25 after being on Entresto for about 4 months. I kept denying the ICD and my Cardiologist said in order to prevent a dangerous irregular heart beat (VT) I really needed an ICD, I had one placed in August 2020, It was not as bad as I expected, It has not shocked me yet; I Pray it don't. I'm still on Entresto and on last echo in May, my EF was 25-30% but not because of the ICD, for mine was just for protection. I cont. to Pray for increase of my EF. I try hard to do my change of lifestyle and exercise. I hope things look up for you. Take Care.
Thank you, I also have a left bundle branch blockage. Maybe that is why
