It depends on how compliant you are with your activity restrictions, medications, diet, check-ups, and follow up appointments. i have seen worse! also remember the mind is much more powerful over the body than you think...try to stay happy and keep stress to a minimum. Give me a list of the medications you are taking and a little more health history, and i will give you some more specific advice, and maybe some tips to improve your quality and duration of life. * lexapro is an anti depressant

I don't think anyone on line is in a position to give a prognosis here. People can live with that ejection fraction, but it's a fragile balance of medication, rest, activity, seeing the doctor, reducing stress, keeping weight normal, etc. Lexipro has nothing to do with this cardiac condition. It's for something else. A question like this is for his doctor, who knows his particular health and health history. Encourage him to ask when he sees his doctor, or ask if you can go with him to see the doctor next time he goes, and ask. Good luck.

This is a difficult question to answer for several reasons. There are many causes for a low ejection fraction, and each has its own outcome. Ejection fraction does not always correlate with symptoms or outcome. It is also dependent on the therapies being used and the response to these therapies. Doctors even have a difficult time predicting the outcome in heart failure patients. Factors that influence outcome include the presence of symptoms, weight, kidney function, age, other medical issues, presence of coronary artery disease (blockages in blood vessels of the heart), etc. He should discuss this with his doctor. Sorry I could not help more. Good luck
