LVEF dropping from 40% to 35% indicates mild decline in heart pumping function after angioplasty. This can happen due to previous heart muscle damage, medication adjustment, or ongoing strain on the heart. It is a matter of concern but not an hard emergency if he is stable and symptom-free. Please consult cardiologist for medicine optimization, strict BP/sugar control, and repeat echo after 3â6 months.
