Almost a year ago my husband had a widow maker. Now he stays tired and sluggish and just not the same as before. He said that one of the things he remembers  is the Dr. told him about heart function loss.   It was either 40% or 60%.  My mother-in-law said that she read somewhere that he would probably not make it a year.  Please tell me this is not true.
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I would explain that heart failure is a clinical syn Chat Doctor.  These EF levels are not too low. Does he have shortness of breath? Is he able to take care of himself?Besides, if there is an optimal therapy, he may live much longer than a year. You should discuss with his doctor on the possibility of optimizing his actual therapy, try diuretics to avoid fluid retention. From the other hand, it is important to determine the function of his other organs. So, I would recommend performing some other blood lab tests
