My mother has a heart ejection fraction of 35 percent and congestive heart failure. She was advised to get a pacemaker. Will her ejection fraction increase naturally, or will she need medication for life?

With an EF of 35 percent, medicines and lifestyle changes can help improve heart function, but most patients need lifelong treatment. A pacemaker/ICD may be needed if advised.

  1. Pacemaker Role:
    A pacemaker, especially a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, can improve heart function and potentially increase ejection fraction by synchronizing heartbeats.

  2. Medication:
    Lifelong medication is typically necessary for managing heart failure. These drugs help alleviate symptoms, prevent deterioration, and may enhance heart function.

  3. Natural Improvement:
    Some improvement in ejection fraction is possible with treatment, but it usually requires ongoing therapy and does not return to normal naturally.

  4. Follow-up:
    Regular cardiologist visits are crucial to monitor heart function and adjust treatments as needed.

For personalized advice, consult her cardiologist to tailor the treatment plan to her specific needs.
