March 9th. 2006: I had a Heart Attack in 2006 (LAD- 100% proximal segm. stenosis) and was treated with PTCA stent. My LVEF that time was 20%. My liquid intake has been restricted to 1000ml/day. Can lvef be improved upon and if yes how? My weight has come down from 72 kg to 62 kg and is constant since 2006. How do I increase my weight? I do my regular exercises and take control of my diet and am on medication- Beta blockers, Diuretics etc
