Is It Safe To Have Children With Cardiomypathy?
I am 23 and have been diagnosed with chf cardiomyopathy associated with leaky vaules. But my last echo/ ejection fraction came back with 35% would it be safe for me to take omega? Or not worry about it. And also would it be safe for me to have any more children?

Dear madam
Omega acids have been found to be helpful in patients with low ejection fraction and heart failure in some trials. These has not turned to be a part of guidelines as yet. But you may try it after consulting your physician.
The pregnancy may have bad effects on heart and is contraindicated in some cases. Consult your cardiologist.
