Hello,

Unfortunately a heart working 25% is very dangerous and may lead to heart failure. You should keep her in hospital till her situation gets better.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
