thank you Rich... i feel great to post in this forum. it has given me a greater confidence and hope to take care of father.. One of a doc that i consulted said to my shock that my father couldn't last more than three years because of the low EF. .. but your life proved his statement is wrong.. i showed my father your message and he is feeling more confident.. thanks for sharing your information..
I agree with gmachris518, above. With proper medical care, medications and exercise and a proper diet he should improve. I would add that a positive attidude will also help a good deal. A Pacemaker/defribulator may or may not be needed dependent on how he responds to treatment.
I was diagnosed with CHF at age 62 with an EF of 18%, by following a diet and losing weight along with exercise and medications, my EF improved to 45% in about 18 months. I am now 74 and have a normal active life style.
Good Luck
thank you, thats a great news. i strongly believe that he's going to recover soon. and your reply is making us feeling more better..
I don't know anything about Myasthenia gravis, but, I have had an EF of 15-20 percent for about 5 years. I also have had a pacemaker/defibulator installed and I follow a rigid diet, and do all of the excercise I can handle.
I'm doing fine, so I believe your father can have the same results with proper diet, excercise, diet and medication.
Hope this helps.
