Dear Mr. Manu Grover,
We're sorry to hear about your father's heart condition. A decrease in ejection fraction (EF) from 35% to the current range of 26ā29% indicates a progression of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This decline suggests that the heart's ability to pump blood effectively has diminished, necessitating prompt and comprehensive medical intervention.
Recommended Actions:
Consult a Cardiologist: Specialist Evaluation: It's imperative to seek immediate consultation with a board-certified cardiologist. They can perform a thorough assessment, determine the underlying causes of the EF decline, and develop a tailored treatment plan.
Initiate Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT): The primary objectives are to alleviate symptoms, prevent further heart damage, and enhance overall quality of life. It's crucial to start these medications promptly and adjust dosages as tolerated under medical supervision.
