I know that I have CHF and mine was 10-15% when I was diagnosed at the end of 2021! My Doctor put me on Farxiga…Entresto…Carvedilol and it went up to 35%! Then in May of 2022 they gave me an Abbott Merlin ICD and a few months after that my EF has improved to 60%! I am seeing a New Improved Cardiologist and he has added Spirolactanone ! I go back week after next for an Echocardiogram and a Stress Test! So I suppose I’ll have an update by the end of June! Good Luck to you and God Bless you!

I can’t take entresto because my blood pressure is too low and I’m allergic to an ingredient in it. But the others i have or am taking. They put me on sodilol because i was going into afib on carvedilol. Thanks for sharing that information. I may ask a specialist about it.
