My Father is 78 and was having severe shortness of breath. He was in excellent health (push mowing the lawn and lifting weights months ago). Fast forward to now waiting on OHS for two blockages and an atrial valve replacement. To further complicate things, he has a clot in his left ventricle. His nuclear stress test was about a month and a half ago and I did not see the EF but was told it was 27 or 31 (he’s not good with medical stuff). I got in the hospital chart today and the echo done days ago the EF is 21. His liver and kidneys are good, non smoker, social alcohol and not overweight. Looking at his chart it’s hard to believe he was even moving around like he was. Has anyone had “bad” stats and had a good outcome? I am petrified.
