dear,EF of 45% is a good EF,even people of EF of 30 % lead a normal life.90% of patients of previous heart attack have at least one and usually two or more lifestyle related
cardiovascular risk factors such as poor diet
sedentary lifestyle or smoking. These risk factors are likely to have
contributed to their heart disease.First thing is should should prevent now another attack,for this there should be dietary modification and life style modification,she should avoid oily food ,eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits,she should go for morning brisk walking,reduce stress and anxiety.Apex and septum is akintic but if it THIN as well then its not reversible,thinnning out heart tissue means heart demage is irreversible and on ecg there will be Q waves and poor R wave progreesion,her prognosis is good if she sticks treatment regiment and life style modification
