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?

Pacemaker Role:
A pacemaker, especially a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, can improve heart function and potentially increase ejection fraction by synchronizing heartbeats.
Medication:
Lifelong medication is typically necessary for managing heart failure. These drugs help alleviate symptoms, prevent deterioration, and may enhance heart function.
Natural Improvement:
Some improvement in ejection fraction is possible with treatment, but it usually requires ongoing therapy and does not return to normal naturally.
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.
