Brief Answer:
Need not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
After going through the medical details provided by you i understand your concern for your mothers well being and health and i would like to tell you that i have gone through the reports attached by you and they are normal.
EF OF 49% which you are seeing is basically a machine interpretation and is generally not taken into consideration. The value which is mentioned in the last of the report is the doctor interpretation which is more reliable.
Just be in regular follow up of your treating doctor and take medicines on time as prescribed. That will be all.
I wish her a healthy long life.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
