   can ejection fraction(LVEF)be improved? (Heart Disorders board)

17th January 2007
Will,

Lisinopril (ACE inhibitor) to dilate vessels, Coreg (beta blocker) to maintain a slower heart rate and help dilate vessels, Digitek for stronger heart contractions, Furosemide as a diuretic, and Isosorbide that targets the coronary arteries to dilate specifically (expected to relieve any angina).

My cholesterol and weight has always been OK, but I continue to eat fish, chicken, occasionally beef, vegetables and fruit, etc.

For an aerobic exercise, walking briskly on the treadmill for about 30 minutes 3X a week, as well as resistance training equipment exercising. It is a continuation that I have been doing for a very long time.

KK,
Let me amplify Lassalle's question.
Does it tempt you to decrease your meds in response to your much improved situation?

I must presume from passt posts that you add aspirin and Plavix to that regimen.
That's a LOT of meds.
Any thoughts on cutting back?

Please clear something up for me. Though your name is KenKeith, presumably MALE, I have always picked up a feminine vibe, or post, or SOMETHING. Do I have the wrong end of the stick?
