Dear Respected colleagues,
Diagnosed with DCM since May 2018. I am 60 yrs male. On medications, salt / fluid restriction plus walking daily. Suffered with short of breadth, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite etc for nearly 6 months. Started with slow walking 20 mts a day and by improving in a phased manner as on date walking briskly for 1 hour covering 5.8 kms at the rate of 10 mts per km. Absolutely with no symptoms. My LVEF measured two months ago is 33%. However, I feel normal with all activities. Bp & heart rate are very much under control as measured daily. I am a table tennis player and can I restart playing it? Will it strengthen my heart and is it an aerobic exercise suitable for DCM patients? I need to shed more my fluid weight by sweating since my bmi is still slightly more.
Please tender your valuable advice.
Thanks in anticipation please.
