Cardiologist,  's  Response

Hi
as told by u her 9 blockages are causing critical narrowing ,chills ,hypothermia, pale skin ,fatigue all indicate that her body is not getting proper blood supply as her heart is detoriating and is unable to pump blood to the body.
ask the dr to do 2d echo to find out the ejection gfraction,because all hersymptoms are pointing towards seriously low cardiac functions
thanks
