Reduced ejection fraction

Question: I am 36 years old. At ECHO-HS put that in my ejection fraction is 51%. Two years ago, was 69%. The doctor said that with such heart and live badly enough. And he gave direction to the hospital to undergo coronary angiography. This procedure I really need? And raise function possible?

Answer: Natalia, you very little about myself to write, to be able to give intelligible advice. PV – only one of the parameters that determine when echocardiography. Yes, 51% – this is not enough for your age, but you also know the reason for the decline of this indicator. Reasons – not less than 10-20. And you have nothing else written. What is an extension of the cavities of the heart? Then it kind of cardiomyopathy, but why do it when coronarography – I can not guess. Coronary angiography is only one purpose – to identify atherosclerosis of the arteries of the heart. In 36 years a woman atherosclerosis is extremely rare. Maybe you should find a competent cardiologist and consult with him full-time? Examined and not worry yet.
