I thought sharing our story may give others hope during an uncertain and worrying time.
My husband (46) was admitted to HDU 6 months ago with high rate AF and turned out he had LVSD with a EF of 12% !!! He was told by every doctor that they either had never seen an EF as low or had not seen it very often. Lots of talk about surgery and even a transplant if no improvement.
He was placed on 8 different types of medication and had cardioversion.
6 months later he has been for another echocardiogram and in his follow up cardiologist appointment yesterday we got some fantastic news.
He is now sitting around 50% EF and his heart is still in sinus rhythm. He is not out the woods completely and will likely be on his meds for the foreseeable future but considering the options a few months ago we are delighted with the progress.
I wanted to share the good news as it may help others have hope and positivity that things can improve. At the time we couldn’t see a way up and could only see the worst case scenario.
This group helped us massively and I wanted to now try to give back a little bit help to someone else.
