To support a patient with low ejection fraction (LVEF) of 25% post-heart attack, it's critical to integrate all necessary medical care. First, it's highly recommended to follow the advice of any cardiologists regarding medical interventions or surgeries, as these situations can be highly critical.
In Ayurveda, alongside allopathic treatments, we focus on strengthening the heart (hridaya) and improving lifestyle and diet. For dietary recommendations, it is beneficial to consume warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Incorporate green leafy vegetables, pomegranates, and whole grains like barley. Avoid heavy, oily, and processed foods, which may burden the heart and cause dosha imbalances.
Guggul, a traditional Ayurvedic remedy, is known for its potential in improving heart function. Take guggul in the form of a standardized extract, as per the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) is another potent herb recognized for supporting cardiac health and can be consumed as a tea or in supplement form - again, under expert advice.
Incorporate daily practices like meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), and gentle yoga to reduce stress and stimulate circulation. However, any physical activity should be undertaken with medical clearance to ensure safety, given the heart condition.
Maintaining a regular routine is advantageous for minimizing stress, promoting better sleep, and supporting overall cardiac health. Ensuring a good night's rest and minimizing exertion is also important for recovery.
It is crucial to keep communication open between your cardiologist and any Ayurvedic practitioner involved to align treatments well. Also, avoid delaying immediate medical interventions needed for the heart if such a need is indicated by medical professionals.

NAMASTE MAHENDRA JAIN,
Improving ejection fraction(EF)-especially after a heart attack- requires a careful approach . A 70 year old with LVEF of 25% is at high risk for heart failure progression, arrhythmias, and other complications. Preventing surgical intervention like pacemaker of ICD(implantable cardioverter defibrillator) placement depends on stabilising and improving cardiac function.
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT(SUPPORTIVE, NOT REPLACEMENT)
GOAL- strengthen cardiac muscles, improve microcirculation, reduce oxidative stress, and balance vata-pitta which are often disturbed in heart failure.
1) ARUJUNARISHTA= 15 ml with water twice daily after food
2) PUSHAKARMOOL GHANVATI= 1 tab twice daily after food
3) PRABHAKAR VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals
4) YOGENDRA RASA= 125 mg once daily with honey or ghee
5) SARPAGANDHA VATI- 1 tab at night with water
6) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime
use classical brands= dootpapeshwar, baidyanath, Arya Vaidya sala, himalaya, charak
HERBAL DECOCTION
-arjuna ksheer paka:- boil 1 tsp Arjuna bark in 1 cup milk + 1 cup water -> reduce to 1 cup-> take once daily in morning
YOGA AND LIFESTYLE
-Anulom vilom= 5-7 min twice daily
-Bhramari pranayam= 3 mins twice daily
-mild asanas= shavasana, tadasana, vajrasana
-slow walking = 25-30 mins once or twice daily
- rest= frequent short rests throughout the day.
DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
-salt restricted diet= 2-3 g/ day max
- fluid restriction= 1.5- 2 L/day
- avoid heavy , oily, spicy, sour food
- prefer warm, light, easy to digest foods
- daily walk, no strain or overexertion
If EF remains <30% even after 3 months of the above treatment, the risk increases so kindly go for surgery
THANK YOU

I will advice Homemade Heart Drink (Safe, Natural)
Arjuna Bark Decoction
Boil 1 tsp Arjuna bark powder in 2 cups of water → reduce to 1 cup
Filter and give warm once a day on empty stomach
It improves LVEF, cardiac rhythm, and relieves pressure on the heart
--
Allow Avoid Completely
Boiled vegetables, moong dal, oats, khichdi Salt, pickles, fried food
Cow’s ghee (1 tsp/day max) Red meat, milk, curd
Pomegranate, papaya, apple (1 fruit/day) Banana, mango (if fluid overload)
Jeera-ajwain water Tea, coffee, cold drinks
🚫 Salt should be minimized – only natural salts in cooking, no added table salt. This alone can reduce load on heart.

HELLO MAHENDRA JAIN,
For 70 year old patient with an LVEF(left ventricular ejection fraction ) of 25% following a recent heart attach (march 15, 2025), it is critical to treat this seriously. LVEF of 25% indicates severe heart failure. This condition requires urgent medical intervention and careful long-term management.
IMPORTANT:-
An ejection fraction of 25% is considered dangerously low. Ayurvedic support can only be complementary- no a suitable - for modern heart failure treatments
START INTERNALLY WITH
1) ARJUNARISHTA- 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3-6 montths
= improves cardiac contractility , tones heart muscles, regulates blood pressure.
2) HRIDAYARNAVA RASAA- 250 mg twice daily with honey for 3-4 weeks then taper
=supports cardiac function, reduces fluid retention . useful in heart failure.
3) DIVYA MUKTA VATI- 1 tab twice daily
= controls high bp naturally, reducing strain on the heart
4) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES- 1 cap twice daily for 3 months
= reduces stress hormones , strengthens cardiac muscle, improves energy
5) CARDITONE(ayushakti)- 1 tab twice daily
=used for hypertension and supporting overall cardiac function.
6)SARASWATARISHTA(WITH GOLD)- 15 ml with water after meals for 1-3 months
= supports nervous and cardiac health in elderly, especially post MI
DIET PLAN
EAT
-FRUITS= papaya, apple, pomegranate, guava, oranges
avoid very sugary fruits like mangoes- if diabetic
-VEGETABLES= boiled, steamed or lightly cooked- spinach, bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrots, ridge gourd, beets,drumsticks for minerals
-WHOLE GRAINS= brown rice, millets(ragi, jowar, bajra in moderation), oats, whole wheat or multigrain chapati
-PROTEINS= moong dal , massor dal(de-skinned), tofu, panner(low fat)
small quantity of boiled egg white
-HEALTHY FATS= use small amounts of cold pressed oils- olive oil, mustard oil
include nuts like almonds (2-3 soaked) and walnuts(1-2 daily)
-FLUIDS= lukewarm water, jeera water, coriander water
limit fluid if there's fluid retention
WHAT TO AVOID
-SALT= very low salt diet(preferable<1.5 g per day). No added salt
-Fried, spicy, oily food= causes fluid retention and heart strain
-processed and canned food- high. in sodium and preservatives
-red meat, organ meat, seafood high in cholesterol
-full cream milk, cheese, butter
-white sugar, sweets, bakery items
-caffeinated drinks= coffee, strong tea, cola
-alcohol and tobacco- strictly prohibited.
LIFESTYLE PLAN
1) PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
- gentle walking, not fast or uphill
-start with 10-15 mins/day if tolerated; increase gradually
- avoid exertion, breath-holding, or lifting heavy objects
2) BREATHING EXERCISES
-anulom vilom, bhramari(if bp and heart rate are stable)
-avoid kapalbhati or aggressive breathing
3) REST AND SLEEP
-7-8 hours of restful sleep
- afternoon rest(but avoid long naps)
4) STRESS MANAGEMENT
-meditation, chanting, or listening to calming music
- gentle social interaction, hobbies
5) MONITORING
-check weight, bp, and pulse daily
-watch for swelling in feet, face, or breathlessness
WHAT TO AVOID
-overexertion
-cold weather exposure without protection
-sudden lying flat after meals
-mental stress, arguments, overthinking
-late night eating or irregular sleep
USE GARLIC AND TURMERIC IN COOKING
light home cooked meals- light, cool, Satvik
small, frequent meals preferred over large ones
use jeera, ajwain , hing in cooking to aid digestion.
MONITORING
-repeat Echocardiogram every 3-6 months
-be alert for swelling, breathlessness, chest pain
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

The condition is related to the most important organ of the body the HEART.

Follow some simple lifestyle changes and dietary changes and you will see results for your problem.

Eat freshly cooked light food like khichadi or dal chaval.
