Frequently asked questions

Is heart failure curable?

Many patients improve substantially, and pumping function can recover when the cause is treated early. Even when not fully reversible, medicines control symptoms and prolong life.

What is a normal ejection fraction?

Around 55–70%. Values below 40% indicate reduced pumping function that needs specialist treatment.

How often are follow-up visits needed?

Usually every 2–4 weeks while medicines are being adjusted, then every 3–6 months with a repeat echo as advised.
