Me in particular, he said, you're not perfect, but doing OK.
One's heart, apparently, is not very efficient. I have an ejection fraction of 45%. This is just mildly bad because the normal percentage of blood ejected from the heart is in the range of 50-60%.
So my heart does suck, but just a bit, and while it may get worse, we are taking steps to help it.
I am starting a beta blocker, which he seemed to believe may help, not just with the symptoms of a fast heart rate but with my overall heart strength.
He also was strongly in favor of the sleep mask.
He wanted me too keep exercising, just not super-strenuously.
Finally, he wanted me to upgrade my Apple watch.
