Hello @pumaguy79

You do present a puzzling question. I can certainly understand that you would like some answers. It appears from your post, that you basically feel OK despite the EF numbers. Is my understanding correct? Do you have any heart valve problems or any arrythmia problems?

While we wait for others to respond to your post, I'm wondering if your cardiologist has provided any insight to these changes in your EF?

Thanks, Teresa. I've got blockages for sure and right branch bundle disturbance.

I can see where lack of symptoms might hide angina pain, but nothing explains my ability to walk, climb stairs and do all of life's activities.Well, I take that back.
Noted author and San Diego cardiologist,Dr. Howard Wayne, described the heart's ability to revascularize itself to "bypass" clogged and blocked arteries.
These tiny arterioles are completely invisible to the heart cath imaging , but they can do a lot of work nourishing the heart muscle. I believe he was right.

But then, I get this low LVEJ reading that is so deeply inconsistent with my sense of well-being. And of course, an alert and concerned cardiologist has to
recommend a trip to the cath lab; and I have to keep refusing given my daily health experience and given the common practice of upping the game from
Cath lab to surgical suite.

And so it goes.

Thanks !

failed to respond to your last question about sudden change in EF. No, she has offered no specific cause. I asked about COVID vaccine-caused myocarditis, but we both know those reports affect younger males. Remember my stroke volume
was measured at 51 ml by the same CCT that found a 24% EF.
