Can a diabetic patient recover from severe global hypokinesia?

Question

Hello doctor,

My father has been a 63-year-old diabetic patient for ten years. Now, he is diagnosed with severe global hypokinesia, and his heart is working only 15 to 20 percent. His feet are swollen due to heart failure as fluid is retained in the body. He has no high blood pressure problem; despite that, his blood pressure is low, around 75/65 mm of Hg all the time, as he is taking some medicines for the disease.

Doctors also said that his blood pressure should be normal. He underwent echocardiography. Currently, he is taking Bozpah 62.5 mg, Noclot, EA 75 mg, Aldactone, Vadil 3.125 mg, and Lasix injection 20 mg. What should we do now? What are the chances of recovery? We are so worried about him. Please tell me in detail about his health and diet also.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Severe left ventricular dysfunction is causing low blood pressure. His medicines are fine, but we have to look for reversible causes of heart failure and also look for blocks in heart blood vessels. Options like biventricular pacemakers and cardiac transplantation should be explored. I would like to see his ECG (electrocardiogram) to see whether he will benefit from a biventricular pacemaker. Thank you.

I hope this helps.
