It may or may not. Depends upon several factors. One of them being timing of your angioplasty. If it was done immediately then your ef may return to normal but if done when part of your heart was damaged then it may not. But good thing is that irrespective of the value you may lead a healthy life with proper medication and lifestyle advice. Don't simply look at the numbers.
