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

@jlharsh -my primary Dr heard a murmur and ordered the first echo, it showed low EF and other valve issues (I posted on those details a few months ago). Prior EKGs had also shown valve issues. That led to a cardiologist visit with another echo done after a few months on medication (no real change), and that cardiologist ordered the CT angio based on the low EF and a very strong family history of congestive heart failure. I've posted on all of that previously so trying to be brief here.
