I was diagnosed with heart failure in November 2023. I had a triple heart bypass in 2013 and it is thought that damage to the heart back then has increased over the last 11 years. After my CABG in follow-up, my ejection fraction was 60%. In November 2023, when I was experiencing breathlessness on only slight exertion, the EF was measured at 25 - 35%. The hospital cardiologist put me on a daily regimen of medications, which have improved my condition considerably. These are: Dapagliflozin, Entresto, Furosemide, Eplerenone, and Bisoprolol. However, I had been taking Bisoprolol and before that Atenolol for many years. In addition to the meds listed, I also take Apixaban and Rosuvastatin. I'm 78, male, living in England, and I'm just about to mow the back lawn.

What about garlic and fish oil? Most of the drugs have side effects.

I’m on Entresto, cadivolol, Jardiance, and Rosuvastatin & also just got a pace maker implanted still not feeling too good. I’m always dizzy now and super tired, can’t sleep no desire to do anything anymore. I hope in due time I can bounce back to half way feeling good. Are these medications a good combo? Has anyone been on these meds? My heart is working at 25% unfortunately guess that’s why I’m so extra tired. Ugh this really does suck I’m only 45 yrs old 😔

I love the way you explain. You are a highly professional doctor and professor who can educate your followers well. Keep doing what you are doing. You are precious😊

Thank you for a very informative breakdowns of each treatment. I’ll share with my father who st 93 recently suffered heart failure.

First time I've heard beta blockers improving heart strength. Up is down and down is up? Beta agonists make my heart beat stronger.

i'm now on a nitro patch. i was feeling nauseus and dizzy after exertion. i am living fairly comfortly even though i can't exert myself.

Thank you for your wonderful vidios, the information has given me and I'm sure others hope.

This is interesting, I'm on an ACE2 inhibitor and still have a bit of a coughing problem still, and it seems they reduce arterial inflammation as well as the other reported functions. My heart rate was in the range of 50-68 before I was on beta blockers, now it's 58-78 which is interesting given what's presented here. The beta blocker also (I believe) is responsible for relaxing my stomach's upper sphincter resulting in me needing to take an ion pump inhibitor due to continuous indigestion in the absence thereof. Another side effect I noticed was that I was given a corticosteroid while recovering from COVID and the combination gave me 24hr hiccups (every 5-10 seconds), I had to stop the steroid because I couldn't sleep and it was really painful after a while. I also take a diuretic called Moduretic that works so well that I take 1/4 tablet of the smallest available lest my BP gets so low that I'm dizzy sitting down. I've tried various others and they do not agree with me (rapid heart rate between 90-130).

I take almost all of the medications mentioned. My ejection fraction fell from 60% in 2013 to between 25% and 35% in November 2023. I was admitted to hospital (UK) with increasing shortness of breath and put on this cocktail of drugs, also including Rosuvastatin. That was about six weeks ago. I was discharged after five days on the acute cardiac ward and since I started on the new medication regimen I feel considerably better. I used to get out of breath just climbing the short flight of stairs in my house. Now I can go for a one mile walk without problems. As far as I'm concerned, these meds are wonder drugs! It's a bit of a hassle every morning, and to some extent before bed, doling out each of ten* medications, but I'm a 77-year-old retired computer programmer, so I can approach the challenge in a consistent manner, with tracking charts, even little programs I've written for myself. It's the only way, otherwise it would be too easy to miss one or other medication. * Ten also includes non-heart-related medications such as Tamsulosin for enlarged prostate and Lansoprazole.

I have had heart failer for a long time on medication for it 2:49

Those medicines have side effects!! I used to take them prescribed by my cardiologist and have stopped taking after I switched my diet from low fat high carb diet to high fat low carb diet such as keto. I have been staying away from sugar and reduced carbo intake as much as possible. I am doing just fine by only taking supplements namely D3, K2, Zinc, vit C and Magnesium daily👍👍👍.

I have less than %40 ejection fraction and refused all medicines. Started to walk more than 20,000 steps a day. Will let u know the results if still alive in 3 months.

Can you please tell a solution for dry cough when use medicines for low EF?

Thank you very much De

Heart matters: I bought some ashwaganda and then found out from my nephrologist that it is contraindicated for dialysis ( I don’t know if it’s ok if you have kidney disease). Please check with your doctor first.

"Medicines"? How about nutrients? Handle the source of the problem, not the symptom!
