I recently had an echo stress and have been advised I have 40% active heart muscle after HA. I am awaiting a perf Inj to be done on my heart. Any experiences to mine ?

Thanks

I was 2 weeks short if my 46th birthday when i had mine .... yes it may do but they can treat it better as they got it early you have to learn to ignore it (hard to do i know) . With mine my heart disease is at it lowest since my very first attack. icd implant tomorrow
