Welcome to Connect, Seth.
I'm tagging a few other Connect members who have also experienced reduced ejection fraction in the hopes that they can offer some thoughts. @thankful @bibi12 @murryone @cynaburst any input for Seth?

Seth, what treatment options are being suggested by your cardiologist?

At moment concept is try drugs and maybe trial of new drug and then probably defribulator
Dr doesn't give much feedback
Trying to get a few more opinions
No blood vessel problems

My husband has an EF of 10- 15%. He has zero symptoms. He just had surgery for kidney cancer on May 8th and is doing well. His EF was 20% before surgery and before they put him on all the meds. He had to get off of Jardiance because of extreme dizziness.
They are putting in a CRT- D next month. He feels fine.
My question is, How is this possible? He's otherwise very healthy, correct weight, pretty good diet. Works hard,but takes breaks. He's 61.
