[|Human|] In an accident...heart rate went to 200 BPM...4 day stay, broken sternum, broken L1 Vertabra...released. 2 weeks later, returned with 103 fever. They told me the fever can be handled, the bigger issue was 200 BPM and a heart attack ready to get me. They did 2 cardioversion in a 15 minute period, maybe less. Again released. Now I find out that my EF was 30% when they did the cardio and 3 months later is 34%. What am I dealing with? Cardio says I have non ischemic cardiomyopathy...58 years old.
[|AI|]  For me, I would like to b go ahead with b ECG echo . And most probably angiography of heart... to be confirmed on side of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy... Once it is establish... Then management depend on your symptoms... Mostly medicinal... Few option like CRT and ICD devices in special circumstances.... After giving shock . Myocardium is stunned so may be low EF... But it improves if patient symptomatically better... Take care
