Ischemic cardiomyopathy
I just wanted to know why are my husband's legs getting swollen even after taking proper medication
This could be because of the fluid overload
In view of severe LV systolic dysfunction he should restrict his liquid intake
His twenty four hours liquid intake should not exceed one litre
Also salt intake should be restricted
