Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mother is suffering from severe LV dysfunction. Will valve replacement help her?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Valve replacement will not increase EF (ejection fraction). The causes are still under research and if blockage is found, it should be operated. Medicines should be continued. What medicines is she taking? Does she have diabetes, hypertension, or any previous heart issue? If breathlessness is severe and despite medicines it is not improving then there is an option of valve surgery or intervention.
