I was diagnosed with severe heart failure in October 2023 after an echo . Since then I have had great support from the cardiac team at my local hospital. I take bisoporol (10 mg) ramipril 7.5 ml - digoxin 175 mls furosmide 5 ml and exoban. I had a follow up echo last week and my ejection factor has improved and I have moved from severe to moderate. I have to continue with the medication and have a follow up appointment with the Cardiologist at the end of the year. I feel so much better

My story is very similar, ardgay. Hospitalised with EF 29% in January and recent echo shows 40% so gone from severe to moderate with the medication regime. I was told there is still scope for further improvement too. So yes, it's a good feeling! X
Hello
This is brilliant news
Keep doing what you are doing it is working and I am so happy for you x
Brilliant news, so very pleased for you, hopefully your EF will continue to improve.
At one point my husband's EF improved from 30, severe HF to 51, mild HF.
With today's medication anything is possible 🤞
Hi ardgay, great to hear you feel much better. My echo revealed I was in the severe category for heart muscle failure with an EF of 25%. I am on great meds and feel really well, but I won't know if my EF has improved until I meet with my consultant in the middle of next year. Keep well.
That is good news. Modern meds can work wonders. I went from 20% to 60% over a couple of years, and would be doing great if it wasn't for the arthritic hip!!! It never rains but it pours.
