Hi @karen1945

Since you have shortness of breath it might be good to take care of it sooner rather than later, but only you and your doctor can decide that, especially given your experience with catheterization.

Do you know what your Ejection Fraction is? It might be listed as EF on an echocardiogram or other cardiac test. My EF stays around 60 - 65 which means my heart is still functioning at a pretty good level. If that begins to drop, I will probably have to do something sooner rather than later.
