Resolved Question: Medical experts advice is needed. Is it important for a person to have an ICD if the ejection fraction is 45?
My dad is at the hospital, because he had an unexpected arythmia (Ventricular tachycardia). Doctors concluded that his heart is mildly weak with an ejection fraction of 45%. Everything else (angio, EKG,…) was very normal. He is not psychologically comfortable in taking the ICD. Option so his doctor told him to increase drug dosage. I want someone to tell me How important it is for a person with these kind of condition to get an ICD. Is he safe?
No he never worn a halter monitor. THe results came up after the treatment he got. at first his heart beat was 200, but he made it to the ER without calling an ambulance (we took him). I know its risky but now he is perfectly normal with no arterial blockage. CAT, ECHO, Lab results are perfect.
