<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I was implaneted a stent for MI in March this year 2011. Before angioplasy, echocardiogram showed my LV ejection fraction 49. Can I improve my ejection fraction further? Please let me know the foods, vitamins, drugs i can take to improve my hearts EF.  <response>: Hello, Normally ejection fraction may improve slightly after stenting. But having 49 EF is not bad. Normal EF is more than 55. Healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet, regular exercises, fish oil or fish, green leafy vegetables, fruits and avoiding meat etc. will help. Lipid profile 6 monthly or yearly if its deranged. Avoid smoking active or passive and alcohol if any. In the Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
